Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) You pull me in with quiet hunger, velvet on your tongue A promise spoken soft enough to cut into my lungs I swore I’d find the strength to leave the moment that you choose But you wrap around my weakness like a tailored excuse You trace your name across my skin where all the bruises bloom You say you’re doing this for me, but there’s no space to move You swear your love is gentle, but you tighten when I lose You call it comfort, but it feels just like a velvet noose (Pre-Chorus) You dress the pain in elegance, you make it feel like art You tie a bow around the ache and claim you own my heart (Chorus) If this is how you love, then pull it tighter Drag me under, set my veins on fire Hold me close enough to bruise If devotion means I lose I’ll wear your truth like something holy Even if it’s killing slowly If this is how you love, then pull it tight I’ll die inside your velvet noose tonight (Verse 2) You hush me with a fingertip, you never raise your voice You say you’re giving me the world, but never gave a choice You built a heaven made of rules I didn’t get to choose And call it paradise while tightening the velvet noose You say that I’m your only, that you’re scared to let me go You hold me like a secret that you never want to show I try to loosen what you tied, but every time I do You whisper “I’m the only one who ever cared for you” (Pre-Chorus) You say it’s love, but love’s not meant to feel like being used Your hands were warm, but now they’re just another cage to lose (Chorus) If this is how you love, then pull it tighter Drag me under, set my veins on fire Hold me close enough to bruise If devotion means I lose I’ll wear your truth like something holy Even if it’s killing slowly If this is how you love, then pull it tight I’ll die inside your velvet noose tonight (Bridge) I felt the warning signs, but still I let you in You charmed the poison, made it taste just like a medicine You said you’d keep me safe, I never thought you’d mean Safe from every world except the one you built for me (soft, almost whispered) Don’t loosen it… I’m used to it… (Break – short) Tighten— I’m breathless but I want it Tighten— If leaving is the cure, I’m haunted (Final Chorus) If this is how you love, then pull it tighter Drag me under, set my veins on fire Hold me close enough to bruise If devotion means I lose I’ll wear your truth like something holy Even if it’s killing slowly If this is how you love, don’t set me free Your velvet noose feels like a home to me (Outro) If loving you is how I fade Let me fade in your embrace
