[Verse 1]
Low voice
Slow drip
Honey in the dark
You sip
Name on my tongue
Half-formed threat
I trace the edge
You ain’t heard yet
Every consonant
A fingertip
Every vowel
Another grip
You say “talk”
Like it’s a dare
I take my time
Leave you there
[Chorus]
I linger on every word
Let it crawl under your shirt
Breath on your skin through the speaker
Closer
Deeper
Weaker
Soft tension pulling you apart
Intimate and sharp
Danger in the way I start
You can’t finish
(honey in the dark)
[Verse 2]
Mouth to the mic
Like mouth to your neck
I pause mid-line
Make your pulse check
Silence hanging
Like a hand
Hovering an inch
From where you stand
You lean in
Chasing heat
I pull back
Keep you on that seat
Every “yeah”
Another scratch
Say you’re fine
But you’re off track
[Chorus]
I linger on every word
Let it crawl under your shirt
Breath on your skin through the speaker
Closer
Deeper
Weaker
Soft tension pulling you apart
Intimate and sharp
Danger in the way I start
You can’t finish
(honey in the dark)
[Bridge]
Don’t blink
You’ll miss
The smallest shift
The twist
One sigh
One slip
You’re caught on my lip
You want release
I slow it down
Turn every promise
Back around
[Chorus]
I linger on every word
Let it crawl under your shirt
Breath on your skin through the speaker
Closer
Deeper
Weaker
Soft tension pulling you apart
Intimate and sharp
Danger in the way I start
You can’t finish
(honey in the dark)
