(Verse 1)
The screen went to black but the room is still humming
I heard your heartbeat before I saw you coming.
I’ve been drowning in chapters, I’ve been hiding in prose
But my body has secrets that only you know.
The red lamp is casting a prayer on the floor
I don’t want to be "brilliant" or "wise" anymore.
I just want to be skin, I just want to be breath
I want to love you like life is a flirtation with death.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Bass kicks in, slow and heavy)
Strip away the metaphors, throw the books on the ground
I’m tired of the silence, I’m tired of the sound.
My pulse is a rhythm you haven't learned yet
A deep, hollow ache—a beautiful threat.
(Chorus)
Oh, write your name in the hollow of my throat
I’m the only confession you’ll never quote.
It’s a love that’s too heavy, a lust that’s too bright
We’re the only two ghosts left awake in the light.
Hold me like a secret that’s starting to bleed
I’m everything you want, I’m the only thing you need.
Deep in the velvet, lost in the red
Let’s finish the story that can't be said.
(Verse 2)
The wine stains the glass like a bruised afternoon
I’m a solar eclipse and you’re the cold moon.
You pull at the tides of my blood 'til I’m high
I’d give up my soul just to hear you sigh.
Forget all the logic, forget all the art
There’s a wild, screaming animal inside of my heart.
It’s romantic, it’s messy, it’s dangerously real
I’ve forgotten how to think, I only know how to feel.
(Bridge)
(The music swells—distorted strings and a lonely piano)
I’m obsessed with the way you don’t even try
To be anything less than my reason to cry.
Take the intellect, take the wit, take the mind
Just leave me the man that I’m dying to find.
(Outro)
(Fading out into a slow, rhythmic heartbeat)
Crimson ink...
On my skin.
Where do you end?
Where do I begin?
Don't speak.
Just... stay.
Deep.
Deep.
Deep.
