[Intro] (soft, whispered, almost spoken) In the hush between heartbeats… we’re already burning. [Verse 1] Your shadow slides under my door at 2 a.m. Coat still on, keys still cold, breath already sin One look and the room forgets how to stay quiet Clothes hit the floor like they’re running from a fire Fingers trace the line where guilt should be But all I feel is you — raw electricity We don’t say the names we’re not allowed to speak Just skin on skin, loud enough the walls start to weep [Pre-Chorus] Every rule we break tastes like honey and shame Every stolen second sets my blood aflame We’re wrong, we’re reckless, we’re already damned And God help me — I want you again [Chorus] Take me like it’s war and we’re the last ones left Bite my neck like you’re marking what death can’t take yet Love me like the morning’s gonna burn us alive Fuck me like there’s no forgiveness at sunrise We’re poison, we’re fever, we’re velvet and knives Forbidden and filthy and so fucking right Hold me like you’ll never let heaven win ’Cause I’d rather burn forever than not have this sin [Verse 2] Your mouth is a bruise I wear under collars My thighs still tremble from the way you holler My name like a curse you can’t stop praying Back arched, sheets torn, sanity fraying You taste like cigarettes and bad decisions I taste like ruin between your teeth and your vision We crash like waves that were never meant to meet But the undertow’s stronger than any retreat [Pre-Chorus] Every rule we break tastes like honey and shame Every stolen second sets my blood aflame We’re wrong, we’re reckless, we’re already damned And God help me — I’d do it all again [Chorus] Take me like it’s war and we’re the last ones left Bite my neck like you’re marking what death can’t take yet Love me like the morning’s gonna burn us alive Fuck me like there’s no forgiveness at sunrise We’re poison, we’re fever, we’re velvet and knives Forbidden and filthy and so fucking right Hold me like you’ll never let heaven win ’Cause I’d rather burn forever than not have this sin [Verse 3] I smell you on my pillow three days later Phantom hands still ghost across my traitor skin Your voice in my head when the house is too silent Whispering “again” like it’s holy violence We text in code at 3 p.m. in public Thumbs shaking, hearts loud, logic disgusting One word from you and I’m already wet One glance and I forget what regret even is [Bridge] (slower, almost dangerous, voice dropping low) They’ll call it betrayal, they’ll call it disgrace They’ll never know how your hands feel on my face How your heartbeat syncs with mine when we’re breaking How destruction can feel like sacred aching Let them scream, let them pray, let them curse our names I’d sell my soul twice just to taste you again [Verse 4] We meet in the stairwell, no time for a bed Your belt’s still buckled, my dress shoved to my head Teeth on my shoulder, fingers bruising my hips Quiet gasps turn to moans we can’t keep zipped The whole building could hear and I wouldn’t care Let them know — let the whole damn world stare This love is a blade and we’re both bleeding out And I’ve never felt more alive than bleeding with you [Verse 5] Someday the light will catch us, cruel and clean They’ll tear us apart like a bad magazine But tonight your tongue is painting psalms on my throat And every lie we live feels like the only truth I wrote So wreck me slow, then wreck me fast Make every second feel like it could be our last Because if this is wrong, then wrong feels like God And I’d rather be ruined than ever stop [Final Chorus – rawer, almost screaming] Take me like it’s war and we’re the last ones left Bite my neck like you’re marking what death can’t take yet Love me till the sky cracks open wide Fuck me till there’s nothing righteous left inside We’re poison, we’re fever, we’re velvet and knives Forbidden and filthy and so fucking right Hold me like the end is already here ’Cause I’d rather die in your arms than live without this fire [Outro] (soft again, fading, almost tender) In the hush between heartbeats… we’re still burning. We’re still burning. We never stop burning.
