The House Below the Sea

[Verse 1]
There’s salt on my lips when I say your name,
Every kiss drags me down again.
Walls made of whispers, built for two,
No one leaves — not me, not you.

[Pre-Chorus]
The water’s rising, but I don’t flee,
You said love’s a cage, then gave me the key.

[Chorus]
(slow inhale)
In the house below the sea,
(soft exhale, rhythmic)
You breathe the dark right into me.
(short inhale, heartbeat pause)
Every secret tastes like need,
(gentle breath — sighing echo)
And I forget what it means to be free.

[Verse 2]
You touch me like a drowning prayer,
A promise breaking in open air.
The surface calls, but I stay numb,
The deeper we go, the closer we become.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The world above don’t know our names,
We trade our sins for tidal flames.

[Chorus]
(slow inhale)
In the house below the sea,
(soft exhale, rhythmic)
You breathe the dark right into me.
(short inhale, heartbeat pause)
Every secret tastes like need,
(gentle breath — sighing echo)
And I forget what it means to be free.

[Bridge]
There’s no God this far below,
Only hearts that still don’t know —
If love’s a gift or undertow.

[Final Chorus / Outro]

(slow inhale, barely audible)
In the house below the sea,
(soft exhale, trembling)
Our ghosts sing in harmony.
(short inhale, sync with bass)
If drowning’s love, then let it be,
(gentle breath release — fading into reverb)
You and I — eternity.
(final long exhale, dissolves into ambient waves)

(soft ocean reverb fades, heartbeat slows)

76 BPM Deep bass thrum like a heartbeat, layered airy vocals, distant ocean waves blended with low synth hums. Female
