Cruel Desire

Shh…

Turn the lights low, I want you to see me clearly.

Not sweet — just deadly.

⸻

Velvet shadow, glass of sin,

I let you chase — I let you in.

You said I’m trouble, I said “define,”

Now your halo’s tangled in mine.

⸻

You talk about love like it’s holy,

But you fall on your knees too slowly.

Every touch, a little crime,

I’m the sin that feels divine.

⸻

Cruel desire — burn me slow,

Feed the fire, lose control.

Say my name like it’s a prayer,

You can’t save what isn’t there.

Cruel desire — skin and wire,

Every lie pulls me higher.

You say stop — but you conspire,

I’m your sweetest cruel desire.

⸻

Lips like venom, soft and low,

You want heaven, but you don’t know.

I’m not the angel you’ve been told,

I wear silver — not gold.

⸻

You want the danger without the burn,

But darling, some lessons you never learn.

Pull me close, I’ll make it right,

Pain and pleasure kiss tonight.

⸻

You call it sin…

I call it instinct.

You call it wrong…

I call it art.

And you’ll come back —

You always come back.

(distorted synth riff + heavy breathing echo)

⸻

Cruel desire — burn me slow,

Feed the fire, lose control.

Say my name — I’m in your veins,

The poison that remains.

Cruel desire — sweet surrender,

No beginning, no defender.

You’re the spark, I’m the pyre,

We both burn with cruel desire.

(fade out with deep synth bass + whispered “burn…”)
