Elysian Temptation
rock, Dark symphonic rock at 100 BPM with female vocals; low piano and toms pulsing under a smoky, minor-key progression. Verses stay intimate with close-mic vocal, swelling strings, and restrained, overdriven guitar tremolo. Chorus opens into a seductive wall of harmony, half-time drums, and soaring strings. Bridge strips to piano and voice before crashing back into a final, relentless chorus., symphonic rock, female vocals, rhythmic, electric, emotional, seductive

Lyrics
Verse 1
Velvet curtain in my chest
You slip through it
Uninvited
Laughing at the word “regret”
Fingerprints in wine
Ignited
You say “love is just a dare”
I taste thunder when you breathe
Every promise
Sharpened air
Every kiss
A pulled-out seam
Chorus
Elysian temptation
You drag me under
I’m awake
Danger dressed as salvation
Every touch a holy ache
I’m praying as I’m falling
Into the ruin that you make
Elysian temptation
Teach me how much hurt I’ll take (ah, I’ll take)
Verse 2
You draw halos on my wrists
Silver rings that feel like chains
Tell me suffering’s a gift
While you spell your name in flames
All the “never”s melt to “now”
On your tongue they sound the same
I keep swearing I’ll come down
As I lean into the blaze
Chorus
Elysian temptation
You drag me under
I’m awake
Danger dressed as salvation
Every touch a holy ache
I’m praying as I’m falling
Into the ruin that you make
Elysian temptation
Teach me how much hurt I’ll take (yeah, I’ll take)
Bridge
Whisper “stay” against my scars
Soft command that makes me burn (oh)
I could walk out of the dark
But my body doesn’t learn
Is this mercy
Is this sin
When your hands become my fate
I keep choosing you again
Like a mouth returns to taste
Chorus
Elysian temptation
You drag me under
I’m awake
Danger dressed as salvation
Every touch a holy ache
I’m praying as I’m falling
Into the ruin that you make
Elysian temptation
I am yours to break and take (I still crave)
Elysian temptation
I am yours
And wide awake
