[intro] Soft like static in my spine, You hum inside—no reason, no rhyme. Every silence, you invade, A phantom pulse I can’t evade. [verse 1] Dressed in dreams I never wore, You haunt the cracks beneath my floor. Lit a candle in your shape, Let the wax decide my fate. [pre-chorus] I reach for you through strangers’ mouths, Mouthing hymns you never spoke. You were never really near— But I let you choke me on the hope. [chorus] Velvet needle, slide it in— I want the ache beneath my skin. Don’t love me—just let me drown, I’d rather die than let you down. (I crave the poison more than peace.) [verse 2] I watched your shadow kiss the wall, Pretended it was something small. Your name repeats like static rain, A lullaby stitched into pain. [pre-chorus] Obsessed in lowercase confessions, You’re sacred, cold, and unpossessed. I dressed my wounds in your reflection— Each breath a curse I won’t confess. [chorus] Velvet needle, slide it in— I want the ache beneath my skin. Don’t love me—just let me drown, I’d rather die than let you down. (I need the silence to reply.) [bridge] Take this hunger, make it skin, Let me be the grave you’re buried in. No requiem, just velvet lies— Love me cruel, or not at all. [outro] I’ll wait where nothing ever grows, A shrine of eyes and wilted prose. Limerence, my sweetest sin— Where you don’t end, I don’t begin.
