Dragon Tested Heart

Here are the lyrics for this song: [Verse 1] They circle overhead Gold eyes Cold scan Reading every scar Like I’m some failed exam They laugh in their lairs Then land Then leave They sip from my stories But never believe [Pre-Chorus] I open the gate They study the door They taste a hello Then they want more More from my armor Less of my soul I shrink myself smaller Just to feel whole [Chorus] Why’s it so hard just to keep a friend? Why’s it so hard for a night to extend? (stay) Why does the room go quiet when I speak? Why do the dragons judge before they see me? Why does it hurt when they never stay? Why do I still set a place anyway? Why am I always the last to leave? Dragon-tested heart still wants to believe [Verse 2] They sniff out “different” Before I say a word Like they smell my wiring And label it “disturbed” They toast to their comfort Call it common sense But it’s just cheap armor Masquerading as defense [Pre-Chorus] I measure each truth To match what they trust Hide half my constellations Under this dust They say they’re “just busy” Then post where they’ve gone I watch from the glow Pretending I’m wrong [Chorus] [Bridge] I am not your lesson I am not your test I am not your burden You balance on your chest I am not your project I’m a person at rest Waiting at the table For someone who invests [low vocal register] If you can’t sit with my storms Don’t ask for my sun If you can’t hold the silence You don’t get my run [full voice Layered] I’d rather stand lonely Than crawl for your gaze My different is holy You’re lost in the haze [Chorus]
