Keep Your Distance

**Verse 1**

Your shadow’s burning holes through my skin

Every breath you take pulls me back in

You’re poison wrapped in velvet, I taste the edge

One step closer and I lose my head

**Pre-Chorus**

I’m a storm in a cage, breaking the steel

The closer you stand, the less I can feel

I crave you like fire, I choke on desire

So I beg you — don’t come any higher

**Chorus**

Keep your distance, don’t feed the flame

I’m drowning in the sound of your name

You’re the knife that cuts, the wound I hide

Stay away or I’ll burn alive

**Verse 2**

Your voice is a trigger, it rattles my bones

A siren calling me to come too close

I built these walls but you’re slipping through

You’re everything I want, everything I’ll lose

**Bridge (breakdown)**

I see you standing — a ghost I can’t touch

My hands tremble, they want too much

I’m chained to a fire I’ll never tame

If you reach for me, I’ll take the blame

*(instrumental guitar solo, dark and raw)*

**Chorus (repeat with variation)**

Keep your distance, don’t feed the flame

I’m losing myself when I hear your name

You’re the storm I need, the storm I’ll fight

Stay away, save me tonight

**Outro**

Stay where you are — don’t cross the line

Your light could kill this heart of mine

I’ll love you forever, but not up close

Keep your distance — or I’ll eexplod
