[Intro] [Whispers over distant piano and cold reverb] You… Always you… [Verse 1] You’ve haunted these veins since the first black dawn Your silhouette bleeds through every silent screen A poison I never dared to taste Velvet lies and thoughts that rot the bone [Pre-Chorus] I watch from the shadows where the light can’t reach Counting the years like open wounds [Chorus] You would destroy me You would tear the last light from my chest So I stay silent in the dark Where cowardice feels safer than the fall You would destroy me And I still can’t look away [Verse 2] Centuries of hunger, drowning in the dark You burn like a dying star and I freeze in the glare A thousand confessions buried in my throat A sacred sin, my most exquisite disease [Pre-Chorus] I watch from the shadows where the light can’t reach Counting the years like open wounds [Chorus] You would destroy me You would tear the last light from my chest So I stay silent in the dark Where cowardice feels safer than the fall You would destroy me And I still can’t look away [Bridge / Breakdown] I’ve ached through endless nights Consumed by the ghost of your presence Too damned to believe I deserve your touch So I choose the cold of abstinence Because you… Would annihilate what’s left of me [Atmospheric Break] [Clean guitars + distant choir] A story not happening… A black coffee left to die cold… A conversation hanging from the noose… [Final Chorus] You would destroy me You would drag me under and crush the last of the light So I remain in the dark Where longing is safer than the truth You would destroy me And I still can’t look away [Outro] You… A requiem that never plays You… Headlights that will crush me You… [fade into silence]
