[Verse 1]
[low male vocal]
Red dot on the doorway
Floor plan burned in my brain
Fingerprint on the keycard
I ghosted in through the frame
[female vocal enters, cool]
You trace every camera
Thought you slipped through unseen
But I painted these corridors
Straight out of my dream
[Pre-Chorus]
[male]
You knew I was coming
[female]
I wrote every step you take
[male]
So why does your hand shake, darling
[female]
‘Cause this is the one move I can’t remake
[Chorus]
[Both, close harmony]
We’re standing on a ticking love
Numbers running down in red above
You disarm codes, I design the cage
Now we’re locked inside the same bright blaze
One wrong word, this room explodes
But I’m drawn to you like a secret code
If this is how our story blows apart
I’ll let you cut the wire on my heart
[Verse 2]
[female]
Steel walls, velvet carpets
I set the trap like a stage
Had your file on my bedside
Every alias, every age
[male]
Thought you’d be a shadow
Not a woman in gold and black
With that half-smile confession
“Run now, or don’t look back”
[Pre-Chorus]
[female]
I wired every ceiling
[male]
I can hear them counting down
[female]
I built this empire for control
[male]
So why burn your beautiful crown
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[soft, almost spoken, trading lines]
[male]
Tell me which line to cut
[female]
Tell me which lie was real
[male]
Is it fear in your eyes
[female]
Or is this what you wanted to feel
[Both, rising]
[male]
If we’ve only got ten seconds
[female]
I don’t want them spent alone
[male]
Take my hand, call it treason
[female]
Let the whole dark sky be blown
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[whispered female over held piano chord]
Lights fade, heat climbs
We’re laughing at the damage done
[low male echo]
Two ghosts in a fault line
[female]
And the bomb was us all along
