Through Fever and Glass

Verse 1 Woke in the dark, hands not mine, a pulse beneath borrowed skin. The world moved slow, like a wound breathing back. She was there — shadow, heat, whispered something I used to believe. I forgot the name, but I knew the sound. Pre-Chorus Every scar hums when she says my name. Every breath drags me closer to the edge. Chorus Through fever and glass, I crawl back into time. Half of me burning, half of me blind. If mercy lives, it wears her hands tonight. Verse 2 Her voice cuts through the static, soft, impossible. Says I’m safe — but safe from what? My chest still screams her magic. There’s blood in the mirror, but it isn’t mine. Just echoes of the man I left behind. Bridge Don’t ask what I saw when the dark looked back. It looked like me. And it smiled. Chorus (reprise) Through fever and glass, I crawl back into time. She kept the fire, and gave me the crime. If love survives, it wears her hands tonight. Outro She said, "Rest now, Riddle — the worst is still to come." And I almost believed her.
