[Intro – lullaby-like, music-box sweetness, distant mechanical hum]
Hush now, don’t speak too loud
There’s something fragile in the sound
Sweet like it won’t let me down
Even as it pulls me under
[Verse 1 – intimate, glossy but slightly artificial, soft synth shimmer]
You drip slow into my veins
Golden light under my skin
Every word a sugared chain
I don’t even try to win
Silk around my ribcage tight
Tastes like wrong but feels like right
Every breath I take tonight
Comes from you, I can’t deny it
[Pre-Chorus – airy dream pop lift, faint industrial pulse underneath]
I know what this is doing to me
I feel it closing in my chest
But every time I try to leave
I reach for you instead
[Chorus – bright but warped sweetness, slightly detuned glow, restrained impact]
You drip like honey in my chest
I can’t breathe, but I like it best
Filling every space I need
Even as you bury me
Sweet enough to make me stay
Soft enough to numb the pain
Hide the sting I never see
While it’s living under me
[Verse 2 – dreamlike but unsettling, textures feel too clean]
There’s a pressure in my throat
Every word I never wrote
Dissolves before it gets to air
Like you’re already there
Velvet touch with something sharp
Tiny venom in the dark
Every time I let you in
I feel it start again
[Pre-Chorus – breathier, slight glitching in vocal layers]
I know what this is turning into
A quiet kind of casualty
But every time I start to pull away
You pull me deeper just to breathe
[Chorus – fuller dream pop wash, still soft not explosive]
You drip like honey in my chest
I can’t breathe, but I like it best
Filling every space I need
Even as you bury me
Sweet enough to make me stay
Soft enough to numb the pain
Hide the sting I never see
While it’s living under me
[Bridge – industrial undertone rises, lullaby fractures slightly]
(Light distortion, almost whispered)
Little sting beneath the gold
Something sharp I never told
If it hurts, I still hold
Every drop you let me breathe
Breathing in, I disappear
Something sweet inside my fear
If I choke, at least you’re near
If I fade, you’re still here
(Soft mechanical swell, like a distant machine breathing)
[Final Chorus – dreamy, floating, emotionally numb sweetness]
You drip like honey in my chest
I can’t breathe, but I like it best
Every part of me concedes
You’re the only air I need
Sweet enough to make me stay
Even as I slip away
Feel the sting inside of me
Still I breathe you endlessly
[Outro – music-box fade, warped sweetness, industrial hum dissolves]
Breathing honey…
Feel the sting…
Breathing honey…
