[Verse 1]
Black coat dragging down the hallway
Ink-stained fingers
Midnight eyes
You grade my sins in red and grey
One cold stare and my pulse climbs
You say my name like it’s a warning
But I keep leaning into flame
Detention in your empty classroom
I’m begging you to misbehave (oh)
[Chorus]
Severus
Severus
Say my name slow
Pull me like a spell that I’m dying to know
Professor
Teach me every hidden part
I want your
Defense against my dark
Dark heart
Severus
Severus
Close that door
Write your secrets on my skin like a tired report
Professor
Break me
Tear my rules apart
Give me that
Defense against your dark arts
[Verse 2]
Chalk dust floating like a storm cloud
Your voice cuts quiet like a blade
You circle me
You ask a question
I lose the answer in your shade
You correct me with a half-smirk
Low whisper crawling up my spine
“If you insist on being reckless…”
Then keep me after one more time (hey)
[Chorus]
Severus
Severus
Say my name slow
Pull me like a spell that I’m dying to know
Professor
Teach me every hidden part
I want your
Defense against my dark
Dark heart
Severus
Severus
Close that door
Write your secrets on my skin like a tired report
Professor
Break me
Tear my rules apart
Give me that
Defense against your dark arts
[Bridge]
Take me to the back row shadows
Where the candles barely burn
Every lesson turns to pressure
Every page a twist
A turn
If I’m your worst mistake tonight
Let me wear it like a mark
Chain me to your quiet violence
Make me love the taste of dark
[Chorus]
Severus
Severus
Say my name slow
Pull me like a spell that I’m dying to know
Professor
Teach me every hidden part
I want your
Defense against my dark
Dark heart
Severus
Severus
Close that door
Write your secrets on my skin like a tired report
Professor
Break me
Tear my rules apart
Give me that
Defense against your dark arts
