[INTRO - FIRE, QUIET] I used to think the loudest flame was proof that I was living. [VELVET - ROUGHENED TONE] I used to think control was proof I couldn't break. [FIRE] Funny what we teach each other. [VELVET] Funny what we finally take. [VERSE 1 - FIRE] I can sit inside a silence without rushing to perform I can let somebody hold me without calling softness wrong. [VELVET] I can raise my voice in daylight. I can want without defence I can leave the door wide open without losing common sense. [CHORUS - BOTH] Velvet burns Fire rests Neither one becomes the other Both become a little less afraid of what was missing afraid of what we'd learn Fire learned the quiet Now the velvet burns. [VERSE 2 - VELVET] I thought grace meant never shaking Now I shake and still have grace. [FIRE] I thought power meant eruption. Now I know it has a pace. [VELVET] You gave courage without pushing. [FIRE] You gave peace without a cage. [BOTH] We didn't trade our stories We just turned another page. [BRIDGE - BUILD] FIRE: No more proving I can thunder. VELVET: No more hiding from the sound. FIRE: I can whisper. VELVET: I can holler. BOTH: Still ourselves on common ground. [FINAL CHORUS - FULL] Velvet burns Fire rests Neither one becomes the other Both become a little less afraid of being tender afraid to take our turn Fire learned the quiet Now the velvet burns. [DROP TO PIANO] FIRE: Did I teach you how to burn? VELVET: No, baby. I remembered. [BOTH] I was always fire. [OUTRO - SOFT] VELVET: You staying? FIRE: Pour another.
