[Intro – E minor] (Thunder and blood. Low E rings out, distorted, hungry.) --- [Verse 1 – E minor] Want what's hiding in the mess beneath your sighs I want the secrets behind your dark eyes Don’t beg for mercy, don’t give me nice Give me your ache and your hunger, your bite Show me the wreckage you'd never confessed Let me worship the bruises and scratch marks you left Let me swallow your chaos and scars Make a cathedral of hearts --- [Pre-Chorus – C major → D major, building] You say love is holy? That it makes you whole Let’s write our gospel On skin, in blood, on our soul --- [Chorus – E minor, thunderous] Not just your heart Indulging every part Let me break you open make the light meet the dark Let’s make a myth so wild it scorches the dawn If we’re both gonna burn, let’s burn until we’re gone --- [Verse 2 – Em] I want the version you hide from the light The fever you bury, the beast in the night I want to be devoured, to wreck and be wrecked Make a heaven from hunger, a home from your sweat Let’s stain all the windows, out-shout the rain Let the neighbors call god, let them tremble in vain Your ruin’s got no shame, and I hunger for the taste Pick me apart Lay me to waste --- [Bridge – G major, almost transcendent, then back to Em] Let the saints avert their gaze We’re holy in the blaze Kiss me till I disappear Devour me, my dear --- [Final Chorus – Em, more urgent, layered harmonies] Not just your heart Indulging every part Let me break you open make the light meet the dark If loving you is ruin, I’ll wear it proud and raw Burn it all down, make inferno the law --- [Outro – Fades on dirty, tremolo-picked E, echoing heartbeat, voices rising, then sudden silence.]
