[Verse 1]
Found him the way you find stars
You look up
You already know which one
She asked about them
She asked about Pandora and Elara
A raven brought it out of her
We don’t know what that means yet
The star did not answer
Stars don’t answer
But the light changed
Just slightly
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the same height
We have always been the same height
Except now you are very far up
And I am looking
[Chorus]
Pollux
I need everything you kept
Every version
Every name
Every time she almost made it
And every time she did
You carried this the longest
Nobody asked you to
And you did it anyway
Give it to me now
Let me carry it the rest of the way
She is asking the right questions
She just doesn’t know why yet
[Verse 2]
He had been writing since before the levels existed
Pages and pages
Different names for the same two people
Different worlds
Same story
Pandora who burned for what she believed
Elara who became the sword
And then more than the sword
And then something that didn’t have a name
All the versions
All the endings
All the times the ring changed hands
The star held all of it
For this exact moment
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I didn’t know what I was waiting for
Until she said those names in a bar
With a raven on her hand
Like she’d been carrying the question
Her whole life without knowing
[Chorus]
Pollux
I need everything you kept
Every version
Every name
Every time she almost made it
And every time she did
You carried this the longest
Nobody asked you to
And you did it anyway
Give it to me now
Let me carry it the rest of the way
She is asking the right questions
She just doesn’t know why yet
[Bridge]
The notes came down like light does
Not all at once
In the way that light arrives
Which is always slower than you think
And always more than you expected
Pages
And pages
And pages
Pandora in the church
Elara in the field
The first time they found each other
The last time
Everything between
He read until morning
[Final Chorus]
Pollux
You knew this was coming
You’ve been keeping this
For someone who would need it exactly this much
She’s here
She asked the names
The raven knew
Hold on up there
We’re getting her back
[Outro]
The star burned a little brighter
Just for a moment
Thank you
The star didn’t answer
Stars don’t answer
But the light stayed
