Solely Mine (Gothic Ballad)

This gothic ballad opens with sparse, reverb-soaked upright piano and mournful bowed double bass, Baritone guitar adds tremolo and delay-drenched textures, brushed drums pulse like a heartbeat, Hammond organ swells and harmonium drones deepen the atmosphere, The bridge strips back to sine waves and ambient hiss, then swells into a decayed, drawn-out finale, Vocals are close-mic’d, cracked, half-sung, and hauntingly intimate throughout, producing a cinematic, candlelit soundscape

V4.5

There was a hush I dare not name The hour we cursed, the sacred name But still it burns beneath my skin Where all your lies have ever been You spoke of love like broken bread A holy word the devil said And though your hands drew blood from mine You never heard the tolling chime Oh, how the velvet turned to rope How every kiss betrayed the hope You slipped away But left your shrine You were You were Solely mine I drank your voice I wore your vow But none can wound like you do now And every grief I drank alone Unmarked, unheard, unknown But still you whispered of the days When love had not yet lost its face And though you’ll never turn again You kept a ghost beneath your name Oh, how the velvet turned to rope How every kiss betrayed the hope You slipped away But left your shrine You were You were Solely mine You were the wound You were the wine You were the sin I made divine You were You were Solely mine You were You were Solely mine
