Petal-Storm Protocol

Red code on the glass

Warning lights in bloom

You pulled the tether fast

Tore the night in two

Name on the access screen

You said “trust me

I’ve got you”

But every safe word stings

When it stops being true

Petal-Storm Protocol

You tear me down to save me

Soft edges

Deadly fall

You open me

Then erase me

If loving you is the firewall

Then burn me out

Upgrade me

Petal-Storm Protocol

You break my heart to save me (oh)

You talk in guarded phrases

“Stand by

This might hurt”

Maps of hidden places

Pinned under your shirt

Hand over the kill switch

“Say when

” but you don’t

You promise a clean fix

But you cut where you won’t

Petal-Storm Protocol

You tear me down to save me

Soft edges

Deadly fall

You open me

Then erase me

If loving you is the firewall

Then burn me out

Upgrade me

Petal-Storm Protocol

You break my heart to save me (yeah)

Is this mercy or control?

Can you swear you’re not just scared?

Will you hold me through the rollback

If there’s nothing left to spare? (hey)

Petal-Storm Protocol

You tear me down to save me

Soft edges

Deadly fall

You open me

Then erase me

If loving you is the firewall

Then burn me out

Upgrade me

Petal-Storm Protocol

You break my heart to save me

Petal-Storm Protocol

You write the rules that cage me
