Lyrics
Verse 1
Saw you in the mirror, or maybe it was smoke.
Perfume like iron, soft as a choke.
You smiled with a bruise, said “I heal slow.”
I laughed too hard—didn’t want you to know.
Verse 2
Velvet sticks to my skin, red as a lie.
I keep touching the seams, don’t know why.
There’s music in the drainpipe, heartbeat thin—
The night forgot where sins begin.
Chorus
Call me fever, call me flame,
You’ll remember me just the same.
Whisper soft, like you might confess,
I wear your pulse beneath this dress.
Verse 3
Streetlight flickers—someone hums my name.
Feels like mercy, tastes like blame.
You say you want truth; I offer decay.
We’re both still shining in our own strange way.
Bridge
I saw the moon blink twice tonight,
It looked away — it knows I bite.
Your breath still hums beneath my skin,
The quiet starts, and I walk in.
Final Chorus
Call me fever, call me sin,
You’ll wash me off, but I sink in.
Every promise tastes like wine,
You were never yours— you’re mine.
Outro
No saints awake, no candles burn,
Just echoes learning how to yearn.
Step back slow— don’t turn around,
I like the quiet when it’s loud.
