Midnight Fever

[Verse 1]

The city’s breathing through the cracks in my window
Neon bleeding down my skin
Every clock stopped counting the seconds
When your shadow crossed my bed

I said I’d be better by now
I said I’d learned to run
But your name tastes like the devil
And I swallow it for fun

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

Your hands don’t ask permission
They already know the truth
I’m not here for salvation
I’m here for you

Every promise I made to myself
Is shaking in my chest
I should leave before I lose control
But I don’t want what’s best

⸻

[Chorus]

I don’t stop myself
When the night gets close
Every truth I knew
Starts to let me go

I don’t stop myself
When you pull me in
I can’t suppress the fire
That lies within

I don’t stop myself 
I’ll still taste you on my lips
Like a sin I’d gladly wear
Give in to your hungry kiss

⸻

[Verse 2]

You don’t say my name like a prayer
You say it like a threat
Like you already own the parts of me
I try hard to forget

My conscience is getting quieter
The closer that you get
I’d rather feel the damage
Than feel nothing at all again

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Your eyes don’t promise heaven
They promise something real
Something sharp and breaking
Something I can feel

Every red flag looks like roses
In this kind of light
I stopped asking where this goes
I just want tonight

⸻

[Chorus]

I don’t stop myself
When your this close
Your kiss is a curse
That haunts me like a ghost

I don’t stop myself 
I keep begging you to stay
Prayed for grace
But I know it’s too late

I don’t stop myself
I don’t need you to be kind
I need you reckless and relentless
I need you crossing every line

⸻

[Bridge]

Call it a midnight fever
Call it what you want
I just know I don’t resist
When the feeling comes

If this ends in blood and silence
I’d still choose the heat of you
Don’t tell me what I need
I’m done being untouched

⸻

[Final Chorus]

I don’t stop myself
When the night gets close
Every wall I built
Starts to come undone

I don’t stop myself
When you say my name
Hear it in my breath
I won’t look away

I don’t stop myself 
When the night take control
I’d crawl right back to you
And the room feels hollow

Dark alt-pop, sultry synths, breathy female vocals, nocturnal groove, slow-burn desire, cinematic tension
