BOOK OF FLESH & FIRE [lyrics by SonicSketch]

Lyrics by one and only, an absolute legend Sonic Sketch _______________________________ [INTRO] I am not an open book I am not the kind you skim [VERSE 1] My body’s bound in secrets stitched tight, inked in heat spine curved like a question no one learned to read Every page I ever gave them lost its shape in borrowed hands but you take your time with language like you already understand [PRE-CHORUS] You don’t reach for meaning you let it come to you you know where the margins tremble where the paper bleeds through [CHORUS] Read me again read me true I’m a book of flesh and fire with you Read me close by touch, by sight every word ignites Read me again stay inside you speak the parts I never tried Hands on the spine write the line turn me, turn me page by page tonight [POST-CHORUS] Page by page page by page [VERSE 2] Your fingers know the chapters I never say out loud you trace the faded sentences I kept under the crowd You don’t recoil from damage or the ink that slipped you say every scar’s a margin note from the life I lived [PRE-CHORUS 2] You don’t need a legend don’t need a key you read the private language written into me [CHORUS 2] Read me again read me true I’m a book of flesh and fire with you Read me close stay in the light every word ignites Read me again go that deep you don’t just read, you leave your heat in me Hands on the spine rewrite time turn me, turn me page by page tonight [BRIDGE] Some books were never meant for daylight some truths sweat when exposed You read me like a ritual slow hands steady pulse Every chapter leans toward you every ending wants your name [BREAK] Turn me turn me [FINAL CHORUS] Read me again read me right book of flesh and fire tonight Read me close burn the lines every word, every sign Read me again don’t decline you don’t just read me, you redefine Hands on the spine make it mine turn me, turn me page by page tonight [OUTRO] I am not an open book but for you I open Page by page
