Blink Again

[Intro – Slow Sway Pulse] (Low bass. Minimal percussion. Soft guitar shimmer. Room in the mix.)

[Verse 1]
Upper ledge's shadow
Cut across your face
Gaslit torch behind you
Leaves the slightest trace
Below, the current carries
Voices through the square
Someone steps between us
But you’re still standing there

[Pre-Chorus]
You hold your posture steady
Like that makes it true.

[Chorus – Commanded Whisper]
Blink again.
Clear your eyes.
Let the bodies
Drift aside.
I didn’t run.
I stayed in sight.
Blink again.
This time decide.

[Verse 2]
You change your angle slightly
As if you meant to move
You let the distance shield you
Like distance is a proof
A door swings open briefly
A stairwell splits the frame
For half a breath we vanish
Then lock in place again

[Pre-Chorus]
You weren’t prepared
For quiet.

[Bridge – Lethal Line]
If you close the space between us
Don’t mistake it for a fall.

I won’t falter.
I won’t freeze.
I won’t call.

[Chorus – Wider, Slight Lift]
Blink again.
Clear your eyes.
Let the noise
Fall behind.
I didn’t run.
I held my ground.
You felt it then —
You feel it now.

Blink again.
Take your time.
You know exactly
Why I’m still in sight.

[Final Chorus – Bare]
Blink again.
Clear your eyes.
I’m still here —
For now.
Blink again.

[Outro – Visual Exit]
Headlights flood the square.
Metal passes slow between us.
When it clears —
Nothing.

[Fade Out] (Bass pulse alone. Cut.)

Sleaze-driven gothic rock, slow sway groove, sensual bass pulse, smoky tension, intimate control, gothic male baritone
