I knew it
I knew it

Bleeding through a life of strife
Of massive rack and ruin
Racked my brain
Made tracks of veins
And traced them back to black again
Doubled back to red
Then sped to sheer drop
Where each teardrop bled
Was captured and enraptured in delight that I had brewing

No finer sight
To tiring eyes
Than She to seek acclimatise
Proceeded with admiring gaze
To my amazement striking gain
Declining days assigned fail grades
In spite of my abiding faith
For rising waves we breached with ease
To find the deepest hiding place

Lucid skies we fly
Arise to prize the height required
To redefine sight line through eyes declined illusion
Yawning contusions aside
We relied on the form of fresh dawn ever looming
Forevermore tethered
Had weathered all storms
To request the best seats at our infinite blooming

Forevermore tethered
Had weathered all storms
To request the best seats at our infinite blooming

I knew it
I knew it

I knew it
Knew the truth
Just needed to pursue it
True to root
With seed in me renewing
Knew that you and I combined were fluid

I knew it
Knew the truth
Just needed to pursue it
True to root
With seed in me renewing
Knew that you and I combined were fluid
I knew it

I knew it
True to root
With seed in me renewing
Knew that you and I combined were fluid
Crystalline design of our own doing
I knew it

Knew my true blue
It was you
Knew that we would hit resume
Not before time
Not too soon
Not before we lifted gloom
Long enlisted me and you
Never twisted
Seen clean through
Of all dreams spun
This one rung true
Thus came undone
To run to you

Don’t ask me how I persevered
When hurts concurred so little cheer
Don’t ask me why I tried to cry
Could not release a single tear
Don’t ask me when the well dried up
I fear I never wept enough
Don’t fear for what the future holds
It’s clear that fate’s directing us

Don’t ever feel alone again
Forevermore we own this reign
For no known blight can tear apart
Our homegrown right to share a heart
Don’t ever feel alone again
Forevermore we own this reign
For no known blight can tear apart
Our homegrown right to share a heart
Declare our love as brave and bold
The greatest fable famed and told
In evergreen the truest blue
Means you for I as I for you

One heart beats the drum for two
Tempo rising
Enterprising ways to play the game of life
Remain the day and stay the night
Remain the day and stay the night
Remain the brave

We are poetry in motion
We are everlong devotion
Intricately interwoven
From the threads we bled revealing
Every heaven sent emotion
Better spent with stents wide open
For while hearts back then were broken
Now they get around to healing
Profound in every sense
Each feeling on request we own
Condone no self-destructive urges
Since we learned to purge for two
Surging forth our course has altered
Yet remorseful thoughts we halted
As we vaulted to a place
Where sweet embrace narrates the view

Knew you knew it too
That you would know what we should do
To go the distance with persistence when within the whispers grew
For this pursuit sent ripples through the heart of me
Each artery renewed to bleed a part of me now rumoured to be masterpiece
Regardedly departed to uncharted grounds
Abound resounding need to see that lost in me be found
Doubled down my troubled frown to huddle round
Conferring of the burden now uncertain as the hurting had subsided

Ultimate this version of we urged to be with permanency
Pertinent to certainty that none could overwrite it
