Dark Romance

(Soft, pulsing beat — dark synths creeping in, heartbeat-like rhythm)

Something’s crawling under my skin

No clue where the ache begins

I don’t fit here... I don’t fit anywhere

Eyes like razors in the dark

Every glance a brand-new scar

Like I was born to breathe despair

(Low echo vocals, pressure building like a storm)

Then he walks in—

A storm wrapped in leather sin

Everything I fear... and everything I crave

God help me, I can’t look away

(Full band slams in — layered backup whispers: “Detest… possess… confess…”)

He’s everything I detest

Still, he’s pounding in my chest

Owns the room with silence sharp

Tears my guarded world apart

Swore I’d never kneel or plead

Now he's crawling at my feet

And I can't tell who’s holding the leash...

(Beats heavier — electric guitar snarls underneath)

He wants to twist me, make me crack

But I don’t bend — I bite back

I’m not your toy, not your shame to hide

I’m the flame you can’t survive

My will is forged from pain I’ve bled

Try to tame me — lose your head

(Haunting harmonies — cello + low synth rising like breath held too long)

Still there’s that look in his cold stare

When I rise, he’s already there

Puts me high upon his throne

Like I’m his, and his alone

Why do I let him pull me close…?

(Layered harmonies — emotional and raw)

He’s everything I detest

But he’s not like all the rest

Whispers say his soul is gone

But I see the war he’s drawn

There’s a monster with a shattered core

Who once was human… maybe more

And I don’t hate him anymore

(Distorted whispers, glitchy echoes, breathy reverb)

“You’re mine,” he growls

I snap— “You don’t own me.”

But still…

I stay.

I stay.

(First line acapella, then explosive drop with drums + synth)

He’s everything I detest—

Maybe this is fate’s last test

In his shadows, something’s clean

Something broken, something seen

I don't know if I should run

Or if we’ve already begun

This darkness feels like where I belong

He’s everything I detest...

Or so I thought.
