( thundering tension build with heartbeat)
Verse 1:
I touch the shadow of your light,
You burn, I bite,
We spin.
I flee the warmth you leave behind,
Yet crave the spark that blinds.
Chorus:
Round and round,
A circle we cannot break.
Push, pull,
The ache we make.
Near, far,
Forever apart,
I chase the fire
That lives in your heart.
Verse 2:
I whisper close, you pull away,
A game that lasts beyond the day.
I lure, I tease, I wound, I burn,
And always, always, I return.
Chorus:
Round and round,
A circle we cannot break.
Push, pull,
The ache we make.
Near, far,
Forever apart,
I chase the fire
That lives in your heart.
Bridge (whispered, slow, teasing):
I am the dark that hums your name,
You are the spark I cannot claim.
We twist, we turn,
We wound, we learn,
A thousand years of touch denied,
Yet always, always, side by side.
Outro (fade, hypnotic):
Spin me close,
Then let me fall,
I am yours
And yet not at all.
Around we go,
A cruel delight,
Ever after, never,
Forever tonight.
