Beg On My Knees

[Verse 1]
You’re the crack in my stained glass
Little poison in my prayer
Every scar that I keep scratching
Just to know you’re there
You’re the lock on my own cage
I still kiss it like it’s gold
Every time I try to walk
You hook into my bones
[Chorus]
Be the love that never lets me go
Be the reason I can’t leave
Be the ghost that drags me closer
’Til I’m begging on my knees
Be the ache I learn to worship
Every breath a bruise of you
Be the reason that I’m ruined
And I’m crawling back to you (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I’ve erased all my exits
Carved your name in every door
Every road turns into circles
Every circle wants you more
I keep choking on your absence
Like a word stuck in my throat
Tie your fingers ’round my heartbeat
Pull it tight
Don’t let it float
[Chorus]
Be the love that never lets me go
Be the reason I can’t leave
Be the ghost that drags me closer
’Til I’m begging on my knees
Be the ache I learn to worship
Every breath a bruise of you
Be the reason that I’m ruined
And I’m crawling back to you
[Bridge]
If I run
Will you chase?
If I drown
Will you wait? (hey!)
I don’t want a clean escape
I want teeth
I want chains
I want you
[Chorus]
Be the love that never lets me go
Be the reason I can’t leave
Be the wildfire in my veins
Burning holes straight through my peace
Be the ache I learn to worship
Every breath a bruise of you
Be the reason that I’m nothing
’Til I’m begging back to you

rock, Dark alt-rock / punk edge with male vocals: overdriven guitars, sharp hi-hat groove, and gritty bass locked in a mid-tempo stomp. Verses stay tense and palm-muted, vocals half-whispered then bitten off. Choruses explode with doubled screams and harmonies, tom-heavy drums, and feedback tails. Bridge drops to almost spoken vocal over sparse guitar, then slams back into the hook with full-band crash., punk, alternative rock
