Love Potion in the Dark (Opus VIII)

[Intro: Whispered ad-libs, detuned bell textures, airy synth pads, deep sub-bass pulse] Stardust on your fingers Smoke across my heart (Chemistry, chemistry) [Verse] You walked in like a warning sign Black silk halo, venom eyes Moonlight dripping from your skin And I knew I’d let you in Slow fire under velvet skin Every touch a hidden sin Your shadow moving close to mine Like a curse I want tonight [Instrumental tension: tritone synth stab, filtered 808 swell] [Chorus] You got that love potion in the dark A little poison, little spark Pull me closer, break me smart You got that love potion in the dark Phrygian kiss against my throat Devil’s interval in every note Fall like stardust, leave a mark You got that love potion in the dark (In the dark, in the dark) [Verse] Your perfume tastes like midnight rain Sweet obsession in my veins No escaping from your spell Heaven dressed like something hell Glass reflections, crimson room Flowers dying out too soon Still I drink the glow from you Like your chaos feels this true [Instrumental break: Breathy vocal chop, low toms, shimmering synth dust] [Chorus] You got that love potion in the dark A little poison, little spark Pull me closer, break me smart You got that love potion in the dark Phrygian kiss against my throat Devil’s interval in every note Fall like stardust, leave a mark You got that love potion in the dark (Love potion, love potion) [Bridge] No cure in your hands No mercy in your mouth I hear the heavens turn inside out Red moon over us Black bloom in my chest I know this kind of love won’t let me rest So pour it slow Let it glow Let it haunt me when you go (Haunt me when you go) [Instrumental buildup: Rising pads, pulsing sub-bass, whispered harmonies] [Chorus] You got that love potion in the dark A little poison, little spark Pull me closer, break me smart You got that love potion in the dark Phrygian kiss against my throat Devil’s interval in every note Fall like stardust, leave a mark You got that love potion in the dark (In the dark, in the dark) [Chorus] You got that love potion in the dark A little poison, little spark Burn my name into your heart You got that love potion in the dark Chemistry I can’t outrun Night and danger into one Fall like stardust, leave a mark You got that love potion in the dark (Love potion in the dark) [Outro: Fading synth haze, distant vocal echoes, slow heartbeat kick] Stardust on your fingers Smoke inside my heart (In the dark, in the dark) [end]
