Insanity

(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
