[Intro – Mechanical Build | Female Solo] [soft, controlled] Tick… tick… Hear the space between the teeth Where tension breathes [Verse 1 – Male] Gaslight flickers on your grin Every cog says let you in Brass on skin, the moment bends I know how this night will end [Verse 1 – Female] Oil-slick pulse beneath your stare You pretend you’re unaware Turn me once—I won’t behave I don’t need the rules you save [Pre-Chorus – Both (Alternating)] [Male]: Every second pulls me close [Female]: Pressure blooms before it breaks [Male]: We don’t touch—but gods, we’re close [Female]: This machine was built to ache [Chorus – Full Duet] There are gears between us, grinding slow Steel-wrapped hearts in afterglow Lock me in, don’t let me loose We don’t choose—we engage the fuse There are gears between us, sparks collide Time gives up—we override Turn it fast, don’t be afraid This is how desire’s made [Verse 2 – Female] Velvet voice in iron halls I don’t fall—I install Every promise you withhold Melts like brass when it gets bold [Verse 2 – Male] Every breath recalibrates You’re the flaw I won’t escape Hands hover just out of phase God help me—I love the delay [Pre-Chorus – Both (Tight Harmony)] Count it faster—don’t slow down One Forty spins us out Too late now to disengage We’re past thought—we’re in the gauge [Chorus – Duet (Higher Energy)] There are gears between us, screaming bright Interlocked in heat and light No reverse, no safety valve We don’t break—we evolve There are gears between us, mark the sound When we hit—the world rewinds Teeth on teeth, desire obeys Spin me raw—engage, engage [Bridge – Half-Time | Female Lead, Male Echo] [Female]: I am not the calm you crave I’m the storm you engineered [Male (low, close)]: Say it again… [Female (full power)]: I don’t burn—I rearrange Everything you thought you feared [Final Drop – Full Tempo Surge] [Industrial percussion doubles, choir pads swell] [Final Chorus – Duet (Octave Split)] There are gears between us, lock them tight Daylight dies—we own the night Every spark writes what we are Not too close—exactly right There are gears between us, no retreat Feel the click beneath the beat If this breaks—let history say We were flawless in decay [Outro – Female Whisper / Male Fade] [Female]: Don’t stop the machine… [Male]: I wouldn’t dare.
