Psychosomatic

[Intro] [Deep open-string bass riff. Sparse toms. Distant clean guitar swells drenched in reverb. Intimate whispered vocal.] You move beneath my eyelids Like smoke beneath a door Every room still tastes of you Though you don't live here anymore [Verse 1] Three in the morning again Cold sweat soaking through the sheets Your perfume in an empty room Your footsteps in the hall beneath Doctors say it's stress and silence Too much whiskey, too little sleep But every nerve inside my body Knows your shadow way too deep [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why my hands still shake Every time I hear your name [Chorus] Psychosomatic Every symptom wears your face Like a fever I can't break Like a wound that time misplaced Psychosomatic Living underneath my skin If you left so long ago Why do I still let you in? [Verse 2] Mirror shows a little older Eyes like storms that never pass Half my pills are still untouched Beside your photograph and glass I hear you in the running water Feel you in the summer heat Like your fingers down my spine Like your heartbeat under me [Pre-Chorus] They say memory can linger They don't know what you've become [Chorus] Psychosomatic Every symptom wears your face Like a fever I can't break Like a wound that time misplaced Psychosomatic Living underneath my skin If you left so long ago Why do I still let you in? [Bridge] [Music drops to bass and distant guitar textures. Vocal nearly spoken.] Maybe you're a bad reaction Maybe you're a slow disease Maybe love just leaves its fingerprints Buried underneath the skin so deep Or maybe every touch we shared Never really disappeared... [Final Chorus] [Full band. Massive sustained guitars and wide harmony vocals.] Psychosomatic I can feel you in my veins Every scar another doorway Every breath repeats your name Psychosomatic Something beautiful and cruel If this all is in my head... Why does it hurt this much... When I think of you? [Outro] [Band gradually strips away until only bass remains.] Every symptom wears your face... Every symptom wears your face...
