[instrumental intro] [Verse 1 – broken whisper, breathy rasp] Your shadow's on my wall again Like a ghost that doesn’t know it’s dead Every step’s an echo in my head But I keep on listening anyway [Pre-Chorus – strained, gasping rasp] And I don’t know why I run straight into the fire When the flames get higher I still want more [Chorus – explosive rasp, chesty bass, desperate shout] In the cold light, you pull me under Every heartbeat feels like thunder Can’t escape the way you burn in my veins In the cold light, I’m still believing Though I know my soul’s been bleeding I can’t let go — it’s a beautiful pain [Verse 2 – breathy rasp, cracked whisper] Your truth tastes like a bitter sin But I drink it just to feel you in Every lie's another oxygen And I’m addicted to the fall [Pre-Chorus – strained, gasping rasp] And I don’t know why I run straight into the fire When the flames get higher I still want more [Chorus – explosive rasp, chesty bass, desperate shout] In the cold light, you pull me under Every heartbeat feels like thunder Can’t escape the way you burn in my veins In the cold light, I’m still believing Though I know my soul’s been bleeding I can’t let go — it’s a beautiful pain [Bridge – broken voice, whisper turning to strained rasp] Maybe I’m cursed, maybe I’m free Dancing in your gravity Every scar’s a part of me That you wrote in melody [Final Chorus – guttural rasp, last-breath desperation, distorted power] In the cold light, you pull me under Every heartbeat feels like thunder Can’t escape the way you burn in my veins In the cold light, I’m still believing Though I know my soul’s been bleeding I can’t let go — it’s a beautiful pain
