[Verse 1 – Low, Smoky, Controlled] [Ad libs: breathy, strained] My feelings splinter like glass in my chest, Every shard cuts deeper than the rest. Seconds bleed, stretched thin and cold, Your touch once warm now leaves me hollowed. When we lock eyes, you pull away, Like love’s a game you’re scared to play. You stand close but miles apart, Your silence echoing through my heart. [Pre-Chorus – Slow Build, Intimate] [Ad libs: cracked whisper, soft exhale] Oh… oh… You’re shaking, but not from desire. It’s fear of falling into the fire. Step closer, even if it breaks, We’re both addicted to the ache. No more masks, they’re cracking fast, We both know this won’t last. [Chorus – Heavy, Hypnotic, Confident but Pained] [Ad libs: distorted echoes] Do you know the basics, sweet imitation? Love shouldn’t feel like suffocation. That fragile smile you hide behind Is just a shield for your fractured mind. What are you doing, killing the spark? Dimming the light, choosing the dark? Stop pretending you don’t descend, You feel the pull, it has no end. [Verse 2 – Darker, Closer, Intense] [Ad libs: low hum, strained breath] You crave the flame but flinch at heat, You say you’re strong, but you retreat. Your words are bold, your voice betrays All the doubt you try to cage. You pull away, your hands still shake, Like letting go’s your worst mistake. Forever whispers in your ear, But you run from it when it gets too near. [Bridge – Commanding, Dominant Calm with Hurt Underneath] [Ad libs: quiet growl, broken whisper] Step to me, stop playing brave. We’re both just scared of what we crave. Truth tastes bitter on your tongue, But you’ve felt this all along. No more games, no more defense, We’re drowning in our own pretense. You feel that pull you can’t outrun, I’m not the war, I’m what you’ve become. [Final Chorus – Slower, Heavier, Layered] [Ad libs: layered echoes, fading harmony] Do you know the basics, or just the pain? Running circles in the rain? All those lies won’t make you free, They only leave you here with me. No more hiding what we doubt, No more screaming without a sound. If you’re ready to fall apart, Come break the rest of this shattered heart. [Outro – Slow Burn, Fading Into Emptiness] [Ad libs: distant whispers, reverb fading] Lights burn out, No safe ground, We feel it now but don’t make a sound. No more walls, they’ve all collapsed, We’re living in the damage we’ve stacked. Step closer, close enough to bruise, We were never meant to win, just lose. Stay right here in the afterglow, Where love feels like a wound we show. No more running, no disguise, Just broken truth behind our eyes. [Guitar Fade out]
