[Intro: Instrumental - minimalistic rhythm] [Verse 1: intimate, controlled, low tone] You move like a rumor Through my veins Soft as a promise The breaks when it rains You say that it's mercy With hands on my neck You call it devotion - can't call it respect [Pre-Chorus: tension rising, slightly louder] You press your knuckles into my chest Breakin' the skin is what you do best Promising me this is all that I need You stand back to watch and I believe [Chorus: strong, chantable, escalating] You break me slow You break me slow I don't resist I don't resist You pull me close And twist my wrist You call it love I let it bleed You break me slow You break me slow You break me slow [Percussion Break: vocal fragments] [this kind of spark] [from here with you] [Verse 2: darker, more bite in delivery] You trace the cracks inside my skin Like every loss was built to win You twist my words to fit your frame Wrap me up in borrowed shame [Pre-Chorus: tighter, more aggressive phrasing] Knuckles pressed into my chest breaking skin, you do it best You say this pain is what I need You watch me fall, I still believe [Chorus: bigger, layered vocals] [chant + layered] You break me slow You break me slow I don't resist I don't resist You pull me close And twist my wrist You call it love I let it bleed You break me slow You break me slow You break me slow You break me slow You break me slow [Bridge: stripped, awakening, cold clarity] [spoken, detached] Stay away Stay aware Truth cuts clean Through the air Blood in the cracks I feel it back I am the cure I take it back [sharper, rising] I take it back, I take it BACK! [sharper, rising] I take it back, I take it BACK! [Final Chorus: dominant, empowered, slight aggression] [ chant backing] You break me slow Not anymore I don't resist I hit the floor You pull me close I break your grip You call it love I CUT THE THREAD [Outro: hypnotic, fading, breathy but in control] You break me slow You break me slow No You don't I let it bleed Now you're out of my head I let it bleed And now its dead You break me slow You break me slow...
