[Verse 1 — restrained, tense, internal]
Something in the air hums
Your heartbeat presses against mine
Every nerve leans forward
I feel it under my skin
Jaw locked, breath shallow
Hands tense, gripping nothing
Rhythm drags me closer
Step back once — step back twice — I can’t
[Pre-Chorus 1 — lead-in to chorus, rising tension]
Hold it down
Count the beats
Don’t let it pull me under
[Chorus 1 — pulse-driven, mantra, baritone]
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
Teeth press in, my will collapses
Breath snaps short, body tight
I follow — hunger wins tonight
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
It drags me closer, I can’t fight
[Verse 2 — internal struggle deepens, tense]
Every thrum pulls at me
Something older moves inside
Time narrows, rules decay
I’m here, aware — not in charge
Jaw clenches, chest tightens
My body wants what my mind denies
I step forward, I step back
The pulse drags me into it
[Pre-Chorus 2 — lead-in to chorus, escalating]
Hold it down
Count the beats
The rhythm drags me under now
[Chorus 2 — pulse rises, tension building]
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
Teeth press in, my will collapses
Breath snaps short, body tight
I follow — hunger wins tonight
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
It drags me closer, I can’t fight
[Bridge — slowed, claustrophobic, tension break]
The leash inside me slips
Bloodlust hums beneath my skin
I’m still human, barely
But the pulse drags me along
Every beat a hammer
Every breath a tether breaking
[Guitar Solo — pulse motif, escalating tension]
[Chorus 3 — maximum bloodlust, climax]
Pulse burns — bloodlust takes me
Teeth press in, will undone
Breath ragged, body tenses
I follow — can’t hold back tonight
Pulse burns — bloodlust owns me
It drags me under, I surrender
[Final Chorus — mantra, controlled]
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
Teeth press in, my will collapses
Breath snaps short, body tight
I follow — hunger wins tonight
Pulse calls — bloodlust rises
It drags me closer, I can’t fight
