Mutual Core

I shuffle around

The tectonic plates

In my chest

You know I gave it all

Try to match our continents

To change seasonal shift

To form a mutual core

As fast as your fingernail grows

The Atlantic Ridge drifts

To counteract distance

You know I gave it all

Can you hear the effort

Of the magnetic strife ?

Shuffling of columns

To form a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn’t know I had it in me

Withheld your love, an unspent capsule

I didn’t know you had it in you

You hid the key to our continuity

I didn’t know you had it in you

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn’t know ! You didn’t know !

What you resist persists

Nuance makes heat

To counteract distance

I know you gave it all

Offered me harmony

If things were done your way

My eurasian plate subsumed

Forming a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn’t know I had it in me

Withheld our love, an unspent capsule

I didn’t know you had it in you

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn’t know I had it in me

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn’t know ! You didn’t know !
