[Intro — 8 bars. (Haunting solo violin plays a slow, sensual melody in F# minor, expressive vibrato, intimate and cinematic. Sparse minor-key piano answers the violin. Deep sub-bass fades in, followed by soft African shakers and distant talking drum. Dark analog pads, gradual tension, no vocals, no orchestral layers.)] [Verse 1 — (Mature female mezzo-contralto, deep warm chest voice, intimate, breathy, close-mic and dry. Muted kick, rounded sub-bass, sparse shakers, delicate muted guitar plucks, occasional piano notes.)] You leave your shadow on my skin I close the door, you enter in One little touch, a quiet flame And nothing ever feels the same I tell myself that I am free But you’re the air surrounding me The hours fall, the lights burn low I want the thing I should let go [Pre-Chorus — (Soft melodic lift, pulsing synth, syncopated hand drums, subtle piano accents. Bass intensifies, brief pause before chorus.)] It’s in my blood, it’s in my veins A little pleasure, a little pain I know exactly where this goes But every time, I want you close [Chorus — (Hypnotic soulful vocal with subtle African melisma. Full Afrobeat groove, deep sub-bass, syncopated kick, shekere, talking drum, dark pads and memorable synth plucks. Smooth bass drop, restrained vocal doubles.)] Slow addiction, pull me under Sweet obsession, quiet thunder Every touch becomes a need You’re the only thing I breathe Slow addiction, lose control Take the darkness, take it whole I keep coming back to you Like a habit I can’t undo [Post-Chorus — 8 bars. (Instrumental hook, deep bass pulses, talking drum responses, organic shakers and dark synth plucks. No vocals.)] [Verse 2 — (Low, smooth, quietly intense vocal. Muted kick, rim clicks, sparse shakers, warm bassline, muted electric guitar and haunting piano.)] Your name is burning on my tongue A song I never should have sung I see the warning in your eyes Still I follow every sign The room spins slowly, time stands still You know exactly how I feel No promises, no alibi Just one more night before goodbye [Pre-Chorus — (Layer warm hand drums, dark analog pads and piano accents. Gradually build tension, then remove the kick for one beat.)] It’s in my blood, it’s in my veins A little pleasure, a little pain I know exactly where this goes But every time, I want you close [Chorus — (Full Afrobeat percussion, deep sub-bass, dark synth pads, soulful lead vocal and restrained rhythmic doubles.)] Slow addiction, pull me under Sweet obsession, quiet thunder Every touch becomes a need You’re the only thing I breathe Slow addiction, lose control Take the darkness, take it whole I keep coming back to you Like a habit I can’t undo [Instrumental Breakdown — 12 bars. (Solo violin reprises the intro melody over haunting piano and deep sub-bass. Sparse shekere, muted guitar and syncopated talking drum gradually build. Dark synth pulse enters, followed by a dramatic pause and a deep Afrobeat bass drop.)] [Bridge — (Almost-spoken, vulnerable but controlled vocal. Minimal piano, soft bass pulses, sparse shakers. Dry intimate delivery, subtle melodic runs.)] Maybe I don’t want the cure Maybe I just want you more Every time I turn away You’re the reason that I stay [Final Chorus — (Full layered Afrobeat groove, deep bass drop, rich dark pads, subtle vocal doubles and expressive African melisma. Strong, hypnotic, no aggressive belting.)] Slow addiction, pull me under Sweet obsession, quiet thunder Every touch becomes a need You’re the only thing I breathe Slow addiction, lose control Take the darkness, take it whole I keep coming back to you Like a habit I can’t undo [Outro — 8 bars. (Drums gradually disappear. Solo violin plays a final melancholic phrase over sparse piano and fading sub-bass. Soft shakers fade away. End cleanly, no vocals, no choir, no long reverb.)]
