[Intro – Screamed, guitars chugging, double kick building]
Cross my fucking mind, I dare you!
(The moment it breaks!)
The thought creeps in—
I see you!
(Can’t escape this shit!)
Cross that line, I’ll tear through!
It’s not fair to lie—
But I’ll still defy!
[Verse 1 – Screamed, heavy riff, drums syncopated]
Shadows claw at the back of my head,
Every memory dripping red.
Your ghost is a toxin, seeping in deep,
Pulling me under while I can’t fucking sleep.
Broken glass in my veins tonight,
Every word you said still cuts like a knife.
Bury me alive in the mess we made,
I’ll dig my way out through the scars and decay!
(Scars and decay, motherfucker!)
[Pre-Chorus – Screamed into clean build, guitars open up]
I can’t erase the taste,
Your venom in my veins—
And I’m addicted to the pain!
(Addicted as fuck!)
[Chorus – Clean Vocals, soaring melody, layered screams]
You cross my mind like a burning flame,
(Flicker fast, goddamn!)
Flicker fast but you leave the stain.
I can’t escape, I can’t rewind,
Every scar just spells your name inside.
You haunt the dark, you blur the line,
(You blur the fucking line!)
You cross my mind… you cross my mind.
[Verse 2 – Screamed, riffs driving harder]
Bite down hard till the silence bleeds,
Rip the stitches from my sanity.
You left me rotting in the cage we built,
Now I sharpen my teeth on the weight of guilt.
Glass shatters, the walls cave in,
Your lies still echo under my skin.
Every prayer I screamed fell deaf on stone,
Now I’m burning the altar we called our fucking home!
(Home, bitch!)
[Pre-Chorus – Screamed into clean, drums swelling]
I can’t erase the taste,
Your venom in my veins—
And I’m addicted to the pain!
(Yeah, addicted as fuck!)
[Chorus – Clean Vocals, with screamed backing]
You cross my mind like a burning flame,
(Flicker fast, goddamn!)
Flicker fast but you leave the stain.
I can’t escape, I can’t rewind,
Every scar just spells your name inside.
You haunt the dark, you blur the line,
(You blur the fucking line!)
You cross my mind… you cross my mind.
[Bridge – Heavy Breakdown, Screamed, guitars drop to half-time]
Cross my heart and hope to fucking break!
This love is war and the blood won’t fade!
Drag me down, tear me apart—
Your ghost is carved into my fucking heart!
(Clean echo vocal over breakdown)
“I can’t let go, I can’t let go…”
[Final Chorus – Clean with backing screams]
You cross my mind like a burning flame,
(Flicker fast, motherfucker!)
Flicker fast but you leave the stain.
I can’t escape, I can’t rewind,
Every scar just spells your name inside.
You haunt the dark, you blur the line,
(You blur the fucking line!)
You cross my mind…
You cross my mind!
[Outro – Screamed, fading with feedback]
Cross my mind…
(Cross my fucking mind!)
Cross my mind…
You’re the reason and the crime!
[Guitar Solo]
