Taste the Blood-Broken Paradise (Fusion Sessions)

Lyrics written by Jules Gem Lyrics copyright protected 2026 (Pre-Intro) Static on the line… Another promise, another game… Taste the blood, never say goodbye… Wound that never closes… (Intro) [Building synth layers, slow distorted kick, brooding contralto lines with electronic glitches] Ten years circling the same mistake Chasing shadows in the wake One eye open, always braced for pain Still feeding on the flame We bleed just to feel something real Cynical enough to never heal (Verse 1) [Mid-tempo groove with electronica undercurrent] You played your lover like a pawn in New York Left me waiting while you kept score Always calling when the silence got too loud Asking if I’m still around I kept the door cracked, sleeping with one eye open Knowing every word was just another token We fed the wound so we could taste the blood Ten years gone, and I’m still stuck in the mud (Pre-Chorus) [Rising tension — swelling synths, heavier percussion, vocal intensity builds with anger/sadness] What have we become, my sweetest wound? Holding on while the love drained out You played your games, I paid the price Wasted years in this broken paradise (Chorus) [Full industrial drop, powerful contralto belts with layered distorted vocals] And I don’t want to know If you never loved me at all I can’t let you go After all the time I lost But I don’t want to know If you never loved me at all I can’t let you go It hurt too hard, too hard to hold (Verse 2) [Add subtle glitch effects and vocal processing for cynicism] It’s been a long time since I felt whole A long time since I had control Ten years hanging on your every word Ten years letting my own heart blur Ten years of almost, never enough Ten years of games that called my bluff Ten years… holding on… letting go… go… go… (fade) (Pre-Chorus) [More raw emotion] What have we become, my sweetest wound? Dragging scars across the floor You took the best of me and left me bruised Cynical smile hiding what I lost (Chorus) [Bigger build with electronic noise layers] And I don’t want to know If you never loved me at all I can’t let you go After all the time I lost But I don’t want to know If you never loved me at all I can’t let you go It hurt too hard, too hard to hold (Bridge) [Strip back slightly then swell] It’s like I’m sleeping with one eye open Still pretending I’m so in love We kept the wound wide open Just so we could taste the blood (Pre-Outro) [Decaying atmosphere — sparse keyboard arpeggios, vulnerable whispered/sung contralto, fading anger into deep sadness] If I could cut the cord and finally walk away A million miles from yesterday Would the bleeding finally stop… Or am I addicted to the drop? (Outro) [Slow dissolution — heavy reverb, glitchy echoes, industrial noise fading into melancholy synths] Taste the blood… (repeating, layered whispers) I can’t let you go… It hurt too hard… too hard to hold… Ten years… wasted… letting go… (fade into static and pulsing keys) Hurt too hard…
