Male – low, distorted, building]
If this is love
It won’t whisper
[Female – breath steady, resolute]
Let it hit
All at once
⸻
[Verse 1]
[Female]
I didn’t stay for the calm in you
I stayed for the storm you never ran from
Every crack showed me what was real
Every silence proved your spine
I loved you when it shook my ground
When it scared me, when it burned
Not the safe parts, not the clean
The truth you earned
⸻
[Verse 1 – Answer]
[Male – grit, restrained power]
I didn’t choose you for the peace
I chose you for the way you stand
When the walls cave, when the sound breaks
And you don’t let go of my hand
I learned your weight, I learned your fire
I learned how deep this thing goes
If this love is a battlefield
I’m home
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Overlap | tension climbing, guitars rise]
[Female]
If this tears us open—
[Male]
Then let it
[Female]
If this costs us everything—
[Male]
I’ll pay it
⸻
[Chorus – BIG / HEAVY / ROMANTIC]
[Female – powerful]
You’re under my skin, written in flame
[Male – aggressive harmony]
Like distortion screaming my name
[Female]
Not a wound, not a chain
[Male]
A choice I make
[Both – unified]
Slow burn, violent love
You’re under my skin
⸻
[Verse 2]
[Male – heavier, rising intensity]
I don’t need heaven if you’re gone
I don’t need silence to move on
I’d rather bleed inside the sound
Than live untouched, never found
If the world splits down the seam
I’ll pull you through the debris
If I break, I break with you
Nothing else will do
⸻
[Verse 2 – Reply]
[Female – raw, emotional strength]
I don’t want gentle, I want true
I want scars that point to you
If I fall, fall hard with me
Let it mean something
I loved you in the undertow
When staying hurt more than letting go
If this is where we end or start
Take all of me
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Call & Response | FINAL BUILD]
[Male]
Still with me?
[Female]
Always
[Male]
No escape?
[Female]
Never
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – FULL EXPLOSION]
[Female – shouted, melodic]
You’re under my skin, carved in bone
[Male – near scream]
Like a low scream I’ve always known
[Female]
Not obsession, not control
[Male]
It’s love that broke me whole
[Both – massive, layered]
Slow burn, no defense
You’re under my skin
⸻
[BREAKDOWN – METAL RELEASE]
[Male – screamed]
TURN IT UP
[Female – screamed]
LET IT HURT
[Both]
IF THIS IS LOVE
LET IT LEAVE A MARK
⸻
[OUTRO – FINAL MOMENT AFTER CHAOS]
[Male – distortion cutting to clean]
Even after the noise—
[Female – soft, breath shaking]
I’m still here
[Both – quiet, final]
Under the skin
Forever
