Is there a secret formula to make you see?
Every boy in this cursed town craved my alchemy
But the poison I brewed stayed untouched, untamed
A chalice brimming, reserved in your name
I wrote of someone in the songs of the past
Never knowing history's echo would cast
A shadow of you, an enigmatic art
The hatred I nursed turned into a longing heart

Different worlds, divided by gold and steel
Do you even believe in love, or is it surreal?
I've given you signs, but you're blind to the view
Thank you for showing me the truth about you

The chest of my love remains locked away
The key's in your hands, though you've gone astray
If you're not the boy who's destined to stay
Perhaps my treasure waits for another day
But oh, how it burns to leave it this ways
Is you the boy, who's destined to stay?

I traced constellations in the lies you've told
Built palaces on hopes that crumble and fold
The weight of your silence, the coldest decree
Proves love's a mirage between you and me
We're tangled in class, a war of worth
You cling to crowns, I cling to earth
Yet, somehow I hoped for a spark to ignite
But you've doused the flames, extinguished the light

Different realms, though our paths have crossed
Do you even care for the love I've lost?
I've given you clues, but you walked right through
Thank you for proving you're not my truth

The chest of my love remains locked away
The key's in your hands, though you've gone astray
If you're not the boy who's destined to stay
Perhaps my treasure waits for another day
But oh, how it burns to leave it this ways
Is you the boy, who's destined to stay?

The venom was sweet, yet it turned to regret
A love unreturned, a debt you forget
I can't seek another, for my heart's confined
The key to my soul is yours to unbind
Is there a formula to make you mine?
Or am I condemned to this endless design?
Locked in a love only I define
Waiting for someone who may never find

The chest of my love remains locked away
The key's in your hands, though you've gone astray
If you're not the boy who's destined to stay
Perhaps my treasure waits for another day
But oh, how it burns to leave it this ways
Is you the boy, who's destined to stay?
Yes, is you, the boy who's destined to stay
