[verse 1 - sparse bass & piano, breathy vox] Waiting in my heart’s cell Watch the days decay and fall I could disappear in you Make your heart my cathedral Tired of this solitude These walls that never break Your silence cuts much deeper Than any words you make [pre-chorus - build with gated synth, subtle tom pattern] (soft harmonies behind — vocal slides, slight pitch drift) [chorus - full band, dance pulse, evolving synth stab] So let me burn Let me burn for you Choke the bones dry Watch the light break through As my soul says goodbye I love you I love you [verse 2 - denser rhyme pack near end, angular guitar scratches] Cutting symbols in the dark This strange month won’t let me go Your quiet breaks me into parts Deadlier than what I know Still I want what silence brings The violence of your peace If loving you means dying slow Then give me no release [mid-verse tag - [beat drop] one-bar silence then sub bass surge] [chorus - chorus 2: add counter-melody, more rhythmic density] So let me burn Let me burn for you Choke the bones dry Watch the light break through As my soul says goodbye I love you I love you [bridge - sparse again, tabla-like toms, eerie synth cluster] Yesterday rots in the corner While I build altars from your name The prisoner loves his warden In this beautiful, endless game Cathedral bells ring hollow But your silence fills the space I’d rather die tomorrow Than live without your face [final chorus - layered call/response, slight lyric shifts, sacred/club clash] So let me burn (In my heart’s cell) Let me burn for you (Where the shadows dwell) Choke the bones dry (Till there’s nothing left) Watch the light break through (But this holy theft) As my soul says goodbye (I love you) I love you (I love you) I love you [outro - dissolve: bass ostinato + delayed vocal repeats, tape flutter]
