Thorn and Wings

[Verse 1]
Asier with the split black wing
Vicky with the rain-sweet bark
We laugh too loud at the same old thing
To keep our hands out of the dark

You say, "I'm fine"
I say, "Same"
We trade the spark like it’s a game
But when you turn
My chest goes thin
Like something wild just crept within

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look too long
Don’t say my name
If we admit it, we burn the frame
Our blood says one thing, loud and clear
Our homes would tear it all apart right here

[Chorus]
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
That’s what we say (what we say)
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
To send the fear away
We joke, we grin
We play along
But your touch stays
Way too long
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
So let it stay wrong

[Verse 2]
Your mother reads the roots like signs
My father hears the cave-door crack
They’d name our hearts as crossed-out lines
And drag us back, and drag us back

So we make a joke
We change the talk
We hide our ache behind a walk
You brush my sleeve
I bite my lip
And call it nothing on my tongue’s tip

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look too long
Don’t say my name
If we admit it, we burn the frame
Our blood says one thing, loud and clear
Our homes would tear it all apart right here

[Chorus]
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
That’s what we say (what we say)
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
To send the fear away
We joke, we grin
We play along
But your touch stays
Way too long
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
So let it stay wrong

[Bridge]
If I said love
Would you run?
Would you hide me from the sun?
If you said love
I’d pretend
Then call it hunger once again

But the lie
Has teeth and eyes
And it knows our borrowed alibis
You and me
We know the truth
We keep it caged in stolen youth

[Final Chorus]
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
That’s what we say (what we say)
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
To make the night obey
We joke, we grin
We play along
But your touch stays
Way too long
It’s just lust, right? (just lust)
Still, I want you wrong

[Outro]
Asier and Vicky
Laughing in the night
Calling it a sin
While we hold on tight
