[Verse 1 – Clean, intimate, unsettling] I see you when I close my eyes I see you when I don’t Every room still smells like you Even when it won’t I trace your shape in empty air Like you’re standing right beside me If I stare long enough at the dark You start smiling back at me [Pre-Chorus – Clean, tightening] You never said my name out loud But I heard it anyway You never touched me when you left But you never went away [Chorus – Clean, obsessive] You live inside my bloodstream You sleep behind my eyes I don’t know where you end now Or where I’m supposed to die I love you like a sickness I feed it every day You’re not here but you’re everywhere And I wouldn’t want it any other way [Verse 2 – Clean, dissociative] I talk to you in mirrors now You answer when I bleed You say I’m finally beautiful When I give you what you need I keep your voice under my tongue Like a secret I can’t spit out If I let you go for even one night I don’t know who I’d be without [Pre-Chorus – Clean → strained] They say you’re just a memory They say you’re not real But they don’t feel you crawling Underneath my skin [Chorus – Layered, more desperate] You live inside my bloodstream You breathe through every scar I don’t know if I’m haunting you Or if you’re haunting what I am I love you like a sickness I need it to survive If loving you is killing me Then at least I feel alive [Bridge – Spoken clean → whispered] I don’t want you back I want you inside me (whispered) I don’t want to heal I want to remember you forever [Breakdown – Screamed, manic] CUT ME OPEN — FIND YOUR NAME ETCHED IN EVERY FUCKING VEIN I’M NOT OBSESSED — I’M DEVOUT YOU’RE THE ONLY THING I CAN’T CUT OUT IF I’M EMPTY — FILL ME UP IF I’M NOTHING — I’M YOURS ENOUGH I DON’T NEED YOU TO LOVE ME BACK I JUST NEED YOU TO NEVER LEAVE MY HEAD [Final Chorus – Clean, haunting, resigned] You live inside my bloodstream You sleep behind my eyes I stopped trying to escape you I stopped asking why I love you like a sickness I’ll carry till I rot You were never really mine But you’re all I’ve got [Outro – Clean, fading, chilling] If I ever get better Promise you’ll still stay I don’t want to lose you If the pain goes away (last line, almost a whisper) If you leave my head… I disappear
