Cathedral of Electric Skin
Hybrid cinematic R&B with male/female call-and-response vocals over swelling orchestra and experimental synth textures. Dark, pulsing low end under lush strings; epic choir hits in the chorus. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, then explode into widescreen drama with layered harmonies and glitchy transitions. Big dynamic arc from whispered vulnerability to full-throated power., experimental, male vocals, r&b, deep, female vocals

Lyrics
Intro
[low vocal register]Heavy air
Red LED on the ceiling
You trace my scars
Like you’re reading a spell
Verse 1
You say "breathe"
I exhale the past in your hands
Bare feet on cold tile
Two hearts in a quiet riot
Your voice in my ear
Soft threat
Sweet command
"Let go
Let go"
I do
I fall
Chorus
Cathedral of electric skin
We confess every touch
Every sin
Raise our hands as the walls close in
Hallelujah to the ache we’re in
Cathedral of electric skin
Where your yes and my yes begin
Let the choir in my chest crash in
Hallelujah to the ache we’re in
Verse 2
[female vocals]You’re shaking
But you move like you own the dark
Gold ring on your finger
Leaves a trail down my spine
You say my name
Like a word you’re still learning
Half prayer
Half warning
I burn
I bloom
Pre-Chorus
[duet]We bend
Don’t break
We bruise
Still stay
Every flaw on display
Like stained glass in the rain
Chorus
Bridge
[whispered vocals]Strip the crown
Keep the throne of your ribs
Let me sit with your rage
Kiss the parts that you hid
[full voice
Epic choir]If this is wrong
Let it be our hymn
If this is wrong
We’ll sing it again
Sing it again
Chorus
