[Verse 1] What does love really taste like? I asked the devil on a sleepless night He said: “Not just lips, not only fire — It’s chains that bind and wounds that conspire.” There was a guy — sermons rehearsed Said, “You need someone who sees your worth.” Alright, Dr. Freud with a velvet throat — Talk less, bleed more, or sink with the boat. [Pre-Chorus] I moved to rhythms carved in bone While others marched as metronomes They called me strange, like I was wrong But my pulse just beat a darker song. [Chorus 1] Put a mark on me — no speed, no brake Now I feel real in the scars I make I used to wonder what love could be Now I wake with the night inside of me. Put a mark on me — no mercy, no grace Now I feel real in the wounds I face I used to wonder what love could show Now I wake with a truth I’ll never know. [Verse 2] Every night I closed my eyes Prayed my ghost could be someone’s light But false love froze me, left me bare That wasn’t love — just rot in air. My first love? A gilded hell A velvet cage, a poisoned spell It wasn’t passion — it was a trap I thank the void I never looked back. [Chorus 2] Put a mark on me — no speed, no brake Now I feel real in the scars I make I used to wonder what love could be Now I wake with the night inside of me. Put a mark on me — no silence, no shame Now I feel real in the blood, in the flame I used to wonder if love was mine Now I wake with the dark as my design. [Bridge] Then you appeared, no mask, no guise With outlaw hands and unholy eyes I played it cold, but once I knew — The only monster I trust is you. [Final Chorus] Put a mark on me — no doubt, no fear I’ve never seen love this severe I used to ache just to be seen Now you’re my curse, my crown, my dream. Put a mark on me — no heaven, no light I’ve never known love that cuts this right I used to ache for a fleeting sign Now you’re my ruin, my proof divine. [Outro] Now it’s silence, no need to ask Kisses that burn the days to ash Look at you and think, “Yes — this is it.” I’d die in this vow, and never quit.
