Candlelight Confessions by Nobody B

[Verse 1]
She found me in the garden where the roses grow from bone
Said, "I heard you're the king, but I see you're still alone"
I laughed, but it caught in my chest like a ghost
She said, "You don't have to hide the parts you want the most"
So we lit a single candle by the altar of the past
And she told me all her wounds, and I told her all my cracks
No performance, no pretending, no armor left to wear
Just two shadows in the dark, and the truth between us there

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I gave my power to the ones who never stayed"
I said, "I know the feeling, I gave mine to the pain"
Then she whispered through the smoke like a verse I'd never heard
"Why do we keep choosing the ones who never chose us first?"

[Chorus]
Candlelight confessions, we laid our ghosts to rest
Every secret that we carried, every ache inside the chest
I call all my power back, she watched it flood the room
She said, "Do the same for me," and the flame began to bloom
Candlelight confessions, our shadows intertwined
The dark is not the enemy—it's the place we came to find
Why do I feel so holy? Why does the silence heal?
Because the truth was never out there—it was always something real

[Verse 2]
She told me 'bout the ones who touched her soul with dirty hands
I told her 'bout the father who never learned to understand
She said, "I transmute this energy back to Source"
And I felt the room go still, like the universe endorsed
The candle flickered once, then it burned a brighter gold
And for the first time in forever, I didn't feel the cold
She took my face in her hands, said, "You don't have to be the king"
I said, "With you, I'm just a man, and that's the whole damn thing"

[Bridge]
(Stripped back, ukulele and a single bass note, delivery intimate)
We didn't make a promise, didn't swear upon the stars
But something shifted in the graveyard, in the candle's fragile arc
She said, "I call all my power back," and I echoed it alone
Then we transmuted all that energy to Source, and we were home
No more bleeding for the past, no more living in the debt
Just two souls in the Necropolis, and the night was not done yet

[Final Chorus]
(Full energy, layered harmonies, stuttering ad-libs on "confessions")
Candlelight confessions, we laid our ghosts to rest
Every secret that we carried, every ache inside the chest
I call all my power back, she watched it flood the room
She said, "Do the same for me," and the flame began to bloom
Candlelight confessions, our shadows intertwined
The dark is not the enemy—it's the place we came to find
Why do I feel so holy? Why does the silence heal?
Because the truth was never out there—it was always something real

[Outro]
(Soft ukulele fades, stuttering vocal sample: confessions… power back… transmute… source…)
(One low 808 pulse, then silence)
