Bad Habit (love me til I'm gone)

[Intro] (Distorted bass riff, mechanical clicks, creeping synth, slow heavy beat) [Verse 1] [Theatrical low-mid baritone] [Nasal snarl] She scratches numbers into the paint Talking like a whisper, acting like a saint She knows the exact bone to press and break Just to see how long I lie awake Counting every stain on the bedroom floor She leaves the key right inside the door [Pre-Chorus] [Monotone mid-register] [Sarcastic tone] Say my name while the engine runs We collect the damage like loaded guns [Chorus] [Theatrical mid-tempo snarl] [Menacing baritone] It’s a bad habit under velvet skin I lock the bolt just to let her in I try to step back, but I stall and lock She’s the anvil, I’m the hitting block Hold me under till the air runs thin Tell me you love me when the walls cave in [Verse 2] [Theatrical low-mid baritone] [Rhythmic cadence] Stuck in a room with a concrete floor She writes our names on the bathroom door Laughing quiet in the silence Neither one of us remembers what it was She pulls the thread till the skin bleeds red I eat the crumbs that she leaves on the bed [Chorus] [Theatrical mid-tempo snarl] [Menacing baritone] It’s a bad habit under velvet skin I lock the bolt just to let her in I try to step back, but I stall and lock She’s the anvil, I’m the hitting block Hold me under till the air runs thin Tell me you love me when the walls cave in [Bridge] [Raspy spoken word] [Creeping industrial soundscape] Rip the cloth from the wooden frame We wear the cuts just to keep the name No clean break, no way to run We count the damage when the day is done [Outro / Breakdown] [Mid-range raspy snarl] [Abrasive sneer] Drag me down Drag me down with you We burn it all Stay right here, stay right here Love me till I am gone Love me till I am gone
