PLAYING PRETEND — Natalia_Rose (Vampire Pixie Metal Remix) [Intro] (distant whispers) Don’t disappear… Don’t disappear from me… [Verse 1] Tell me there’s more… Than another midnight lie. Your heartbeat tastes like heaven, But you’re fading from my eyes. Every promise drips like poison, Sweet enough to make me stay. I reach to steal forever, But you dissolve into the gray. [Pre-Chorus] Every scar you left Still burns beneath my skin… If love is eternal… Why won’t you let me in? [Chorus] Tell me there’s more— I’m sinking beneath. Blood on the altar, Fangs in my teeth. You say forever, Then vanish again. I taste your heartbeat— You’re playing pretend. Your halo is broken, Your soul paper-thin. You kiss like an angel… Then leave me to bleed. If love is immortal… Why am I buried beneath it? You’re just another ghost… Playing pretend. [Verse 2] Moonlight stains your silhouette, Silver cuts across your face. You swear that I’m your afterlife, Then disappear without a trace. I’m not another sacrifice, Hung beside your empty throne. If I’m the curse you always wanted, Why do I die here alone? [Breakdown] (SCREAM) Rip my heart from my chest! Leave the coffin open— I won’t rest! Paint the cathedral crimson… Watch the heavens cave! If love was your religion… Then why’d you dig my grave? [Final Chorus] Tell me there’s more— No mercy remains. Thorns around my halo, Blood inside my veins. You promised forever… But fed me the end. Now I become the nightmare… You tried to pretend. I’m not your victim. I’m not your sin. I’m the monster you created… Now let the hunt… Begin. [Outro] (whispered over piano and choir) You wanted forever… Forever found you…
