Velvet and Quill

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nGold leaf on the ceiling high\nCandles flicker, shadows sigh\nMy fingers dance on ivory keys\nWhile your verses drift like breeze\nAcross the hall, across the floor\nI shouldn't want you any more\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nInk-stained fingers, paper white\nSecrets kept from morning light\nOne glance shared across the room\nA flower destined not to bloom\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the gardens in the moon\nSinging to a silent tune\nOn the balcony we hide\nWith the palace guards outside\nD minor heart, a heavy cross\nWeaving gold from every loss\n\n[Verse]\nYour sonnets tucked inside my vest\nA frantic rhythm in my chest\nMuted strings begin to play\nTo wash the bitter truth away\nYou spoke of stars and distant seas\nWhile I played courtly melodies\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nInk-stained fingers, paper white\nSecrets kept from morning light\nOne glance shared across the room\nA flower destined not to bloom\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the gardens in the moon\nSinging to a silent tune\nOn the balcony we hide\nWith the palace guards outside\nD minor heart, a heavy cross\nWeaving gold from every loss\n\n[Bridge]\nThe King demands a joyful air\nBut I see you standing there\nA tragedy in every phrase\nLost inside a golden maze\nCelesta rings like falling rain\nTo numb the beauty and the pain\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nQuill and velvet, stone and sky\nTell me how we say goodbye\nThe harpsichord begins to cry\nBeneath a heavy, purple sky\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the gardens in the moon\nSinging to a silent tune\nOn the balcony we hide\nWith the palace guards outside\nD minor heart, a heavy cross\nWeaving gold from every loss\n\n[Outro]
