[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] The room is packed, the air gone thin, Blue signs stutter on your skin. Cold shoulder brushing, sweat to sweat, We take the fever, call it debt. Your mouth says stay; your eyes say nothing, My hands keep asking, yours keep taking. We move like strangers in a trance, And spend the dark for one more chance. [Pre-Chorus] I want to take you in until I disappear, You want the same, so we mistake the heat for here. Two empty vessels with our mouths against the flame, We feed each other, never learn each other’s name. [Chorus] Burn the touch, swallow the breath, Spend each other down to the edge. Hold me close like it could mean Something more than skin between. Burn the touch, take what you can, Morning comes; we lose the plan. When the pale day finds this room, Nothing’s left but me and you—alone. [Verse 2] The lights come up; the spell comes loose, A coat, a shoe, a glass gone bruised. The strangers gather what they wore, And leave like ghosts through the open door. The sheets turn cold beneath my hand, Your shape is gone; I understand. A hollow knocks behind my chest, I bought a moment, spent the rest. [Pre-Chorus] I thought your heat could make the silence disappear, But every kiss just brought the empty closer here. Two hungry bodies, nothing honest left to claim, We fed the fire; it left us both the same. [Chorus] Burn the touch, swallow the breath, Spend each other down to the edge. Hold me close like it could mean Something more than skin between. Burn the touch, take what you can, Morning comes; we lose the plan. When the pale day finds this room, Nothing’s left but me and you—alone. [Bridge] No pulse now. Just the low air. Your hand was here. I wasn’t there. We touched the body, Missed the soul. The room is still. The gap is whole. [Final Chorus] Burn the touch, swallow the breath, Spend each other down to the edge. Hold me close like it could mean Something more than skin between. Burn the touch, take what you can, Morning comes; we lose the plan. When the pale day finds this room, Nothing’s left but me and you—alone. Alone… alone… [Outro] [Instrumental: one synth note dissolving into noise]
