[Verse 1]
Finger on my throat
Tracing every scar I hid
You kiss the old wars quiet
Taste the metal in my skin
Slow burn on your tongue
Pull me closer by the ribs
Every breath a confession
Every bruise you choose to live
[Chorus]
Ruin me gently
Break me the way that I break for you
Hold me so heavy
Crush every wall that I cling to
If it hurts
Then let it
Let the pain be proof it's true
Ruin me gently
I wanna fall
I wanna fall into you
[Verse 2]
Nails in my back
Spelling out the things I fear
You say my full name softly
Like a prayer I need to hear
You drag my darkness open
Lay my temper on the floor
I drown inside your thunder
Come up begging you for more
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You press your forehead to mine
Ask if I’m still there inside
I shake
I shake
But I stay
You’re the only storm I survive
[crescendo]
So take this heart
Unarm it
Tear the steel around it loose
I’ll bleed in time with your body
Every scream another “I choose you”
[Chorus]
