Bruise Me Gently

[Intro, Low sub pulse, metallic scrape rhythm]
(Mmm… yeah…)
Touch me like you mean to break me

[Verse 1, Soft and sharp]
You trace your name with your teeth
Leave it there underneath
Every breath is a wire
Every kiss — barbed fire

[Pre-Chorus, Half-whisper, rising tension]
Don’t call it love — you know that’s not true
It’s need
It’s war
And I lose to you

[Chorus, Slow and dripping, layered vocals]
Bruise me gently
Let me feel it bloom
Your hurt is holy
In this velvet room
I don’t want safety
I want heat, I want doom
So bruise me gently
Let the ache consume

[Verse 2, Vocal distortions, slow triplet flow]
Your hands know maps my skin forgot
Your lies are lullabies I sought
We bleed in colorless delight
Say goodbye, but stay the night

[Pre-Chorus, Strained harmony]
You wreck me slow — a perfect sin
I let you in
Again
Again

[Chorus, Repeat with harder bass and vocal glitching]
Bruise me gently
Let me feel it bloom
Your hurt is holy
In this velvet room
I don’t want safety
I want heat, I want doom
So bruise me gently
Let the ache consume

[Bridge, Industrial texture drop, whispered layers]
Metal heart
Plastic lungs
Loving you hurts — but I come undone
Every scar you gift, I name
I keep the pain like perfume flame

[Break, Instrumental, vocal chop loop]
(bruuuuise me... gently...)
(gent—gent—gent—ly...)

[Final Chorus, Sensual + mechanical fusion]
Bruise me gently
Paint my ribs with truth
I was born for this
Born to burn for you
I don’t want safety
I want you unglued
So bruise me gently
'Til I bruise you too

[Outro, Dissonant fade, heart-beat slow glitch]
(Mmm… break me…)
(soft... then sharp...)
