[Intro: soft synth pulse, filtered vocal chop "talk to me"] [Verse 1: intimate, close mic, minimal beat, half-whispered] Feel it in my pulse, it's burning Something's tearing me apart Done with all these empty silences I need words up in the dark Bare allergic to this nothing Can't just sit here in the void Talk to me, babe, keep it coming Seen it all, I ain't destroyed [Pre-Chorus: building, drums rising, synths swelling] Tryna break out of the madness Not get tangled in the mess Things you gotta do for love are mad, innit But I won't settle for less [Chorus: full drop, anthemic, layered vocals, powerful, dance beat kicks in] Talk to me and burn Don't be afraid, babe I'll love you more when you're in flames Your voice breaks walls — so let 'em fall I'll build 'em new again Talk to me, talk to me Don't go quiet on me Talk to me, talk to me, yeah [Post-Chorus: vocal chop "talk to me", driving beat, synth stabs] [Verse 2: smooth, rhythmic, more confident than verse 1] Like a prayer with no reception In a cold room made of stone Don't go silent on me, blue eyes I'm right here, you're not alone Life keeps dripping into dead ground Nothing growing, nothing there Talk and burn, I'll catch the embers Falling through the heavy air [Pre-Chorus: building, tension, big synth swell] What comes next could go both ways, I get it But staying quiet? That's a crime, babe And I won't just accept it [Chorus: full drop, bigger than first chorus, ad-libs] Talk to me and burn Don't be afraid, babe I'll love you more when you're in flames Your voice breaks walls — so let 'em fall I'll build 'em new again Talk to me, talk to me Don't go quiet on me Talk to me, talk to me [Bridge: stripped back, a cappella feel, vulnerable, soft piano and pads only] From the dark and from the wreckage From the ends all stained in smoke I been whispering just to reach you Finding me in words you spoke Silence is a crime, babes I won't be complicit, no [Final Chorus: explosive, full production, emotional peak, belting, all instruments] Talk to me and burn I ain't afraid now I'll love you proper through the flames Your voice tears down the world, babe I'll build us up again Talk to me, talk to me Don't go quiet on me Talk to me, talk to me [Outro: fading, vocal chops, soft beat, whispered] (Talk to me...) (Talk to me...) (Don't go quiet...)
