The Cannon He Requested

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your mirror neurons fire when I speak my truth,
Electric synapses dancing through the night,
You map my chaos like a fearless sleuth,
Two hemispheres burning vivid and bright.
You trace the static humming in my chest,
The smell of smoke still clinging to my skin,
You press your ear against my restless breast
And hear the storm that rages deep within.

[Chorus]
We're wild symmetry, you and I,
Dopamine flooding every vein,
We're wild symmetry, reaching high,
Love's beautiful, controlled refrain.
We're wild symmetry, you and I,
Dopamine flooding every vein,
We're wild symmetry, reaching high,
Love's beautiful, controlled refrain.

[Verse 2]
Your amygdala recognizes my raw edge,
You don't flinch when I speak in fractured prose,
We stand together on the fearless ledge,
Where authenticity blooms like a crimson rose.
You watch me pace the cold floor after dark,
You taste the salt of every word I swallow,
You cup your hands around my fading spark
And fill the hollow spaces I call hollow.

[Bridge]
The limbic system knows what logic denies—
You see the monster and still hold my hand,
Your prefrontal cortex meets my desperate cries,
Two broken circuits finally understand.
You feel the voltage where my fingers shake,
You breathe the iron air of every breakdown,
You sit beside the wreckage wide awake,
You stay when every other soul has stood down.
You read the signals bleeding through my walls,
You catch the frequency before it shatters,
And in the silence after anguish falls
You remind me that the wiring still matters.

[Chorus]
We're wild symmetry, you and I,
Dopamine flooding every vein,
We're wild symmetry, reaching high,
Love's beautiful, controlled refrain.
We're wild symmetry, you and I,
Dopamine flooding every vein,
We're wild symmetry, reaching high,
Love's beautiful, controlled refrain.

[Outro]
So let this garden of neurons intertwine,
Your savage grace and my desperate need,
Two wild souls becoming one design—
Love's glorious, untamable seed.
