Crimson Tongue

[Verse 1]
You drag your nails
Down my shaking throat
Midnight on your breath
Like a secret oath
Kiss like poison
Slow along my vein
Say my name so soft
Then you bite again (oh)
[Chorus]
Crimson tongue
You taste like danger
I give you everything
To be your midnight stranger
Pull me under
Closer
Darker
Undone
I live
I die
For your crimson tongue
[Verse 2]
You trace my pulse
Count the ways I break
Lips on every scar
Every risk you take
Curtains closed
Candles drowning wax
You make a throne of skin
I never want it back (yeah)
[Chorus]
Crimson tongue
You taste like danger
I give you everything
To be your midnight stranger
Pull me under
Closer
Darker
Undone
I live
I die
For your crimson tongue
[Bridge]
Am I the feast
Or am I the chosen
Heart in your fist
But I want it broken
Mark me
Claim me
Write your hunger in my skin (my skin)
If this is hell
Then let the fire begin
[Chorus]
Crimson tongue
You taste like danger
I give you everything
To be your midnight stranger
Pull me under
Closer
Darker
Undone
I live
I die
On your crimson tongue

metal, Sleek modern metal with drop-tuned guitars and sinuous lead lines, drums locked to a stomping mid-tempo groove. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted chugs and whispered male vocals; chorus explodes into wide, melodic hooks with stacked harmonies and a soaring lead. Bridge leans into half-time heaviness and dissonant chords, then snaps back into the hook with a final, sustained scream.
