Burn

[Intro] [Slow voltage pulse, single hitch every four beats] (soft static breath) You turned me… [buffer-skip] off and on again [Verse 1] [Dry, close vocal, light reverse-stutter on end consonants] You don’t have to touch me I already feel it start Heat climbing under my skin every place you leave open [tiny pitch-flick after “open”] You pull it back right when it starts to burn Then you give it to me again just enough to stay warm [Pre-Chorus] [Groove tightens hard, sub friction rising] Don’t cut it yet I’m still climbing [clean buffer-skip on “climbing”] I know how you do this You let it build then take the heat away [Chorus – heat held] [Pulse stays high, cold sparkling edges, no full drop] You turned me off and on again You turned me off and on again I was right on the edge of it and you cooled it down [soft reverse hitch] You turned me off and on again It almost ignited then fell short Same heat Nothing finished [Verse 2] [Same close vocal, more edge, hitches more frequent] You come back like nothing happened Hands still warm Mouth still half open [pitch-flick + short stutter after “open”] I don’t need the whole night I just need the part where you let it hold long enough to catch You give me the restart instead of the burn [Pre-Chorus] [Groove locks tighter, pulse almost too high] Don’t cut it yet I’m still climbing I know how you do this You let it build then take the heat away [Chorus – cool-off] [Filtered drop that never fully opens, residual friction still under] You turned me off and on again You turned me off and on again I felt it start to catch then you pulled it back [clean buffer-skip] You turned me off and on again The heat breaks the want doesn’t Same current Nothing spent [Bridge] [Breakdown: pulse thins to almost nothing, then grinds back] [Male, low and close] Say it again [Female, almost under the breath] You turned me off [Male] And on again [Female] I know what that means [Rising filter that never quite crests] [Final Chorus] [Open space but residual voltage never dies] You turned me off and on again You turned me off and on again I’m still warm from it and you’re already gone You turned me off and on again The power drops the heat stays Still running Still unfinished [Outro] [Slow voltage pulse fade, single residual hitch] Still running… [buffer-skip] Still running… You turned me off and on again
