Kiss Me Like a Curse

[Verse 1]
You say my name like a warning
Teeth on the word
Still sweet
Every fight leaves fingerprints
Nails in the back of my seat
You hate how bad you want it
I hate how good we fit
Swear we’re poison in public
Drunk on each tiny hit
[Chorus]
Kiss me like a curse
Like you wanna watch me burn
Pull me closer
Make it worse
Make me something you unlearn
Drag me through your heaven
With your hands under my shirt
If love is such a blessing
Kiss me like a curse (oh)
Kiss me like a curse
[Verse 2]
You push me hard to the doorway
Laugh when I shove you back
Mouths collide like a car crash
Tongues in a panic attack
We trace our scars with our stories
Turn our bruises into art
Say we’re done in the daylight
Come at night to fall apart
[Chorus]
Kiss me like a curse
Like you wanna watch me burn
Pull me closer
Make it worse
Make me something you unlearn
Drag me through your heaven
With your hands under my shirt
If love is such a blessing
Kiss me like a curse (yeah)
Kiss me like a curse
[Bridge]
Call me your favorite bad decision
I’ll call you my favorite kind of sin
We circle the line
We cross it again
You’re spitting “I hate you”
While you’re on my skin
Tell me you’ll ruin me
I’ll let you in (come on)
[Chorus]
Kiss me like a curse
Like you wanna watch me burn
Pull me closer
Make it worse
Make me something you unlearn
Drag me through your heaven
Til it almost starts to hurt
If love is such a blessing
Kiss me like a curse
Kiss me till it hurts
Kiss me like a curse

Slow-burning dark pop duet feel, male/female vocals trading lines. Minimal pulsing synth bass and distant toms in the verses, close-mic intimate vocal. Chorus blooms with distorted pads, heavy reverb, and stacked harmonies. Subtle distorted guitar swells in the bridge; final chorus pushes the vocal into a raw, breathy belt then drops to a whisper on the last line., sensual
