[Verse 1] Midnight crawls across your skin, Black lace shadows pulling me in, Your eyes are candles burning low, Calling me where saints won’t go. I’ve worn this hunger like a crown, A thousand thorns I can’t put down, Then your breath falls warm against my name, And every wound remembers flame. [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, darling, don’t pretend You haven’t dreamed about the end, Where all the walls we built above Come crashing down beneath our love. [Chorus] I need you like the night needs stars, Like ruined hearts remember scars, I want you with a fevered soul, A beautiful ache that swallows me whole. Desire is a chapel, and we’re kneeling inside, Two shadows with nowhere left to hide, Let every empty part of me be filled by your touch— I never knew fulfillment Could hurt this much. [Verse 2] Your fingers trace the edge of sin, And wake the sleeping dark within, No holy water, no regret, Could make my starving heart forget. There’s something wicked in your smile, Something tender underneath the guile, And when you whisper, “Stay with me,” My chains become my liberty. [Pre-Chorus] No heaven waits beyond this room, No sweeter rose will ever bloom, Than what we find when fear is gone And need becomes the coming dawn. [Chorus] I need you like the night needs stars, Like ruined hearts remember scars, I want you with a fevered soul, A beautiful ache that swallows me whole. Desire is a chapel, and we’re kneeling inside, Two shadows with nowhere left to hide, Let every empty part of me be filled by your touch— I never knew fulfillment Could hurt this much. [Bridge] Take the loneliness from my bones, Make this haunted body home, Let me drown inside your gaze Until the darkness knows our names. No more almost, no more lies, No more hunger dressed in disguise, I’ve spent forever wanting more— Now I know what wanting’s for. [Breakdown] Need me. Want me. Hold me through the night. Haunt me. Claim me. Make the darkness light. Every trembling breath confesses What our mouths could never say— Some desires aren’t meant for dying. Some desires make us stay. [Final Chorus] I need you like the night needs stars, Like ruined hearts remember scars, I want you past the edge of control, Where your darkness recognizes my soul. Desire was a chapel—we burned it alive, And danced in the ashes just to know we survived, Now every empty part of me is overflowing with us— At last I know fulfillment. At last I’ve had enough. [Outro] Stay until the candles die, Stay until the ravens fly, Stay when morning stains the sky— My hunger sleeps When you are mine.
