Fractured Scale

[Verse]
Stripped down to my basic structure here I lay
On cold steel wishing I could add color to this grey
Complexity won't reach effectively to my dismay
Let me express with simplicity what I have to convey
It's not ok, these arguments get more ludicrous everyday
Exhausted, stressed, we're a messy display
Getting worse as I try to support you as you decay
It's draining me, but I'll gain the strength to stay
Will my embrace remove the tear stains from your face
To rеveal an elegancе that counteracts your faded grace
I accept your excuses, and your justifications
For how easily you can be done with me in any situation
I can't be wrong thinking you're different
I believe you'll be the first to honor your commitment
So maybe I'm distant while being persistent
Keeping you close, but guarded for my own protection
I feel your heat although you're acting so cold
Through the words you've spoken and the ones untold

[Chorus]
Is it cause you're scared
Are you trying to runaway
I decline your attempt to go astray
You're a Fractured Scale in need of repair
Borrow my fire and amplify it with your air
You'll achieve balance because I'll be there

[Verse]
Fine
Don't care about me, leave me to writhe
You know separation and silence lead to my demise
Be inconsistent, indecisive, and self indulgent
Revert to your primal stage from rage that won't relent
In the middle of the chaos and drama I attempt to
Hold your hand and stand tall beside you
Do you really expect me to go, no I refuse
Can't we overcome the toughest issues
Lie, pressure, ignore, scream, even cut me down
I'll stare at you, and protest turning around
It's irrelevant the damage I've endured for your sake
Cause I generate vitality for you to take
Use outside sources to tame your problems
It hits me personally cause I want to get rid of them
I've done so much, what more can I do
I've even renounced my principles for you
You've given up on me, given up on us
You'd rather kill me than try to regain my trust
You've failed me and you've failed yourself
Why do you hurt me, I'm only here to help

[Chorus]
Is it cause you're scared
Are you trying to runaway
I decline your attempt to go astray
You're a Fractured Scale in need of repair
Borrow my fire and amplify it with your air
You'll achieve balance because I'll be there
I will always be there

[Verse]
I know what you want to ask
Why do I deal with you if it's such a tedious task
I see these trials as testaments to our bond
Even at the hard times when you harshly respond
I'd rather you be my reality than have you in a teasing fantasy
Your beauty's perplexity is unrivaled to me
From your style to the way you walk
From your smile to how you talk
From how you blink to your eye color
To how you think unlike any other
From your body's frame to it's density
From your suitable name to your personality
I'm so lucky, and I wouldn't trade you for the ability to fly
Cause you're the key to lifting me to a new plateau of high
Here comes intricacy filling me cause I'm born anew
I'm more efficient cause I'm deficient without you
I'll suffer temporarily to be yours eternally
Endanger my health to ensure your safety
Wait stranded in a dark forest hearing the night's howl
I'll rescue you using the moon's light, don't ask how
Temptation is ineffective unless you're involved
You're an entire planet around which I revolve
Degrade your atmosphere, let your property wither
Break from cataclysm, erupt in a freezing shiver
I'll fill you with air, reimburse you so you can get
Put back together and I'll be your blanket
So please erase your fear, don't consider running away
In my arms you won't go astray
Fractured Scale you won't need continuous repair
My healing flame will be magnified by your air
Balance will be maintained as long as we're both there
