Dark Romance

(Soft, pulsing beat — dark synths creeping in)

Something’s crawling under my skin

Don’t know where the ache begins

I don’t fit in here… I don’t fit in anywhere

Every stare cuts straight through bone

Like I’m cursed to die alone

What did I do to earn this hollow glare?

(Low echo, slow build)

But then he walks in—

A storm dressed in leather sin

Everything I fear... everything I crave

Why can’t I look away?

(Full band hits – backup vocals whispering: “Detest… possess… confess…”)

He’s everything I detest

But he’s pulling at my chest

Owns the room without a sound

Has me spinning, breaking down

Swore I’d never beg or plead

Now he’s crawling on his knees

And I don't know who's holding the leash...

(Beats heavier — electric guitar creeps in)

He wants to bend me, make me break

But I won’t snap — I raise the stakes

I’m not your doll, not a chain to tie

I burn hotter than your lie

My mind is iron, even when I bleed

You won't plant your twisted seed

(Haunting harmonies — cello/synth swell underneath)

But there’s a gleam in his cold eyes

When I fight and rise

He makes me sit at his throne each night

Guarding me like sacred right

Why do I let him?

(Layered vocals, more intense harmonies)

He’s everything I detest

But he’s nothing like the rest

Whispers say his soul’s long gone

But I see what’s really wrong

There’s a monster with a shattered core

Who was human once before

And maybe I don’t hate him anymore...

(Distorted whispers + glitchy vocal overlays)

“You're mine,” he growls

I snap — “You don’t own me.”

But still...

I stay.

I stay.

(Everything drops out for first line, then builds back hard)

He’s everything I detest—

But maybe this is fate’s cruel test

In his shadows, something’s pure

And now I’m not so sure…

If I want to run or burn

If I’ll ever not return

This darkness feels like where I belong...

He’s everything I detest…

Or so I thought.
