[Verse 1]
Chains on the floor, silence in the air,
Breathing feels heavy, despair everywhere.
Walls keep the secrets, shadows hold my screams,
I’m trapped in a nightmare, between love and disease.
[(whisper)]
"Don’t look for mercy… it’s not in the dark."
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to run, but the night has me bound,
Every echo, every whisper pulls me down.
Fear tastes bitter, but I crave your touch,
Broken in pieces, yet wanting too much.
[Chorus]
In the cage of shadows, you steal my breath,
Dancing with danger, on the edge of death.
Hope is a ghost, but I ache for the fire,
My captor, my ruin, my deepest desire.
[Post-Chorus (whisper / soft spoken)]
"Hold me tighter… break me slower…"
"Love me cruel, ‘til it’s over."
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the dark, watching as I bleed,
Twisted devotion, a hunger I feed.
Tears taste of salt, but they never set me free,
I’m bound to the monster who’s devouring me.
[(pause… soft inhale)]
"And I don’t want to escape."
[Pre-Chorus]
I fight the chains, but I crave the bind,
Your shadow carved deep into my mind.
Pain feels holy when it’s you who decides,
Every scar is a vow I can’t hide.
[Chorus]
In the cage of shadows, you steal my breath,
Dancing with danger, on the edge of death.
Hope is a ghost, but I ache for the fire,
My captor, my ruin, my deepest desire.
[Interlude (spoken / whispered, with dramatic pause)]
"You think you broke me…"
(beat of silence)
"But darling… I was already yours."
[Refrain (repeated softly, layered whispers
Take me down, take me slow,
In this darkness, let me go.
Take me down, take me slow,
In this love, I’ll never go.
