(Style: Pop-rock with hip hop bounce and grunge guitars over a chill house pulse; medium-tempo swung drums, rubbery bass, and a jagged riff that blooms into a four-on-the-floor drop. Verse rides tight rap-sung phrasing, pre-chorus strips to kick, bass, and filtered guitar, chorus opens with stacked male doubles and seductive falsetto ad-libs. Ear candy: reverse cymbal swells, tape-stop into the drop, and vocal delay throws on the title. Bright, punchy, and glossy with a dirty edge., hip hop, rap, grunge, rock, pop, seductive)
Verse 1
You call me when you’re angry
at the world, at yourself
Voice gone rough from screaming
at somebody else
Then you come over shaking
eyes blacked out and tired
Say my name like a prayer
while pulling me beside you
⸻
Pre-Chorus
You ruin me slowly
and I let you
Like pain is the closest thing
we have to truth
⸻
Chorus
Maybe this is insanity
coming back every time you leave
Knowing exactly what you are
and still begging you to stay with me
You hold me like you need me
then disappear for days
God, I should hate you by now
but I crave you in the worst ways
Maybe this is insanity
maybe love’s just damage dressed pretty
Still every time you touch my skin
I’d let the whole world end again
⸻
Verse 2
Your laughter in the dark room
sounds almost violent now
Like even happy moments
have teeth somehow
You kiss me when I’m crying
like you caused it on purpose
Then look at me so softly
I almost think you’re worth it
⸻
Pre-Chorus
No clean cuts
No clean breaks
Just two sick hearts
making the same mistakes
⸻
Chorus
Maybe this is insanity
mistaking hunger for devotion
Turning all our worst impulses
into something almost holy
You say “leave if you want to”
while pulling me closer in
And God, you know I never could
That’s how you always win
Maybe this is insanity
living for the highs and wreckage
Still your body next to mine
feels safer than heaven did
⸻
Bridge
Fast hands
Red marks
Your voice
In the dark
No sleep
No peace
Just you
On repeat
⸻
Final Chorus
Maybe this is insanity
but I don’t know how to stop
Cause every time I hit the bottom
you’re the first thing that I want
And if loving you destroys me
at least it’s something real
God, I’d rather bleed beside you
than forget the way you feel
