SWEET UNTIL I BITE

[Intro – Whispered, dark atmosphere] They say I'm sweet... That there's magic in my voice. Maybe they're right. But don't mistake sweetness for weakness. There's something else underneath... Listen. [Verse 1 – Clean female vocal] I can smile like summer, I can whisper like the rain, Sing a little melody that makes you forget the pain. I can hold you softly, make the darkness feel alright, But somewhere underneath my skin something wakes at night. [Pre-Chorus – Building] Don't push too far, don't cross that line. You might discover another side of mine... [Chorus – Powerful] I'm sweet — until I bite! I'm calm — until I fight! There's a wolf beneath my skin and tonight I let her in! Hear the thunder in my chest, see the fire in my eyes. You fell in love with the angel... Now watch the wolf arise! [Instrumental – Heavy guitar riff] [Verse 2 – Stronger vocal] I don't need permission, I don't need to bare my teeth. You can hear the warning in the heartbeat underneath. Still the same woman, still the voice you recognize, But sweetness has a shadow... And the shadow has wild eyes. [Pre-Chorus] You loved the song, you loved the smile... Did you really think that's all I am? [Chorus – Bigger] I'm sweet — until I bite! I'm calm — until I fight! There's a wolf beneath my skin and tonight I let her in! Hear the thunder in my chest, see the fire in my eyes. You fell in love with the angel... NOW WATCH THE WOLF ARISE! [Bridge – Half-time, dark / whispered → scream] Sweet voice... Soft hands... Quiet smile... Don't be fooled. I don't howl because I'm broken. I howl... BECAUSE I'M ALIVE! [Breakdown] WOLF! UNDER MY SKIN! WOLF! LET HER IN! Sweet when I want to be... WILD WHEN I NEED TO BE! [Final Chorus] I'm sweet — and I can bite! I'm fire inside the night! There's a wolf beneath my skin, I don't have to hold her in! Keep the sweetness, keep the flame, every side still bears my name. Angel, woman, wolf tonight... I'M SWEET— UNTIL I BITE! [Outro – Whispered] They said I had an enchanting voice... They weren't wrong. They just hadn't heard me howl.
