Lyrics
verse 1
Silk on the spine of the night, your breath a low tide
Fingers like barbed vines, drawing maps across my hide
Glass in your smile, the room liquefies and bends
I taste your name in copper, where the quiet never ends
pre-chorus
You flick the match, the ceiling folds I hold my hands to light
Gravity is mercy when you pull me through the bite chorus
I am captive, wrapped in the echo of your hands
Drunk on lust and static, while the skyline disbands
You are chaos, soft as velvet and sharp as a blade
I keep coming back for the wound and the shade
verse 2
The color of your whisper spills like molasses on the floor
Neon hymns and perfume war, I want it more and more
Your laugh a little danger, your touch a hungry law
Im a moth with a crooked wing, I drift and I withdraw
pre-chorus
You hum the hurricane, and the windows tremble thin
I press my face into the storm and inhale you in chorus
I am captive, wearing fever like a crown
Drunk on lust, intoxicated by the falling down
You are the fracture that feels like coming home
I keep tracing the scars where the wild things roam
bridge
Taste: cigarette bitterness, honey and rust
Sight: the color of a siren, a sound stained in blood
Touch: velvet and grit, your teeth at the base of my neck
Smell: rain on hot asphalt, a sweetness that wrecks
Sound: the wallpaper hums, a pulse in the pipes
Heat: your mouth an ember, burning my rights
breakdown
You fold me, you break me beautiful demolition
I sign off my senses for your tender demolition
Whisper me the ruin, kiss the edge of the knife
Ill trade the rest of my days for just one night final
chorus
I am captive, tethered to the way you fade
Drunk on lust, watching the world you made cascade
You are the collapse, the velvet that will not save I
keep reaching for the wreckage you crave
outro
Hold me in your orbit, let the silence come alive
Ill be yours a willing wreck while the city dies
