A Soft Thing Dying

Now You Know

The first the last

Burnin’ down 

(Verse 1) Hands down low, you pull me in tight, Drownin' in the smoke of a blood-red night, Your touch, a spark that sets me free, Crashin' like waves, takin’ over me.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Verse 2) Rose gold whiskey on my tongue, You’re hummin’ dirty songs I ain't ever sung, Grippin’ my hips like you own my soul, Got me slippin’ under full control.
(Pre-Chorus) Breathe me in, drag me deeper down, Rippin’ through my body like a hurricane sound, Every shiver, every sigh you steal, This ain’t a dream, it’s the realest feel.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Bridge) No mercy, no slowin' it down, Just a body rush, just the hunger sound, Take it higher till we’re beggin’ for air, Get drunk on touch, get lost out there.
(Chorus) Got a heatwave heartbeat, crashin' fast, No way out, babe, no lookin' back, Sweat-drunk kisses, bruised-up skin, Pull me closer, let the chaos spin. Got a heatwave heartbeat, no break, no rest, Lose myself with you pressed to my chest, Bite my lip, make me drown — Heatwave heartbeat, we're burnin' down.
(Outro) Ashes on the sheets, smoke on your breath, Whisper my name ‘til there’s nothin’ left, Shakin’ like thunder, skin to skin, Heatwave heartbeat — do it all again.

Burnin’ down (blues)

[Intro]
Hey, love…please whisper my name.

Why are the words so hard to purge?

After all this time, you should share the blame.

You the one half of a whole which converged.

[Verse 1]
I stitched my soul with nettle thread.

A martyr of your vanishing.

The cradle sighed in shades of lead.

Fed lullabies of scavenging.
[Break]

You left a psalm beneath my ribs.

A dirge inked in vernix and bile.

The townsfolk watched with opal eyes.

Their breath held in a feral smile.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you trespass my ossuary grace.

Murmuring penitence dressed in gauze.

But truth does not decay with lace.

Nor time annul abandoned laws.

[Chorus]
You were the echo in the void lit kiln.

The quill that inked a Judas hymn.

There is no altar built for fraud.

No sermon left in this façade.

[Break] 
"I nursed the silence… until it screamed…"

"You turned absence into a doctrine…"

"His eyes never found your face…"

Hmmmmhmmmm...

[Verse 2]
You sculpt apologies from sleet.

Yet my winters did not thaw.

Each year was an ossified beat.

A metronome bound by a flaw.

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t croon cowardice like it’s divine.

My spine bore the brunt of your eclipse.

You feared the gallows; I kissed the twine.

While shame fed salt to my cracked lips.

[Chorus]
Yes, I was the vesper, I was the gall.

You were the ink beneath the pall.

The absinthe swirling down the sprawl.

There is no covenant left to mend.

Only the myth you failed to defend.

[Break]
Hmmmmhmmm…

Hmmmhmmmm…

[Bridge]
Go etch forgiveness in your sleep.

But I wore grief like silken peat.

You ricocheted off when life took root.

I braved the thorns, I bore the fruit.

This isn’t grace, it’s the howl restrained.

The orchard you never once maintained.

[Final Chorus]
I was the vesper, I was the pyre.

Breathing fever through marbled mire.

I forged my crown from quiet decay.

And you just the noise that slipped away.

[Outro] 
So sleep, apostate of my womb.

Your name’s a ghost I won't exhume.

He walks unchained, and I retire.

No longer prey to your half-spun lyre.

[Outro]
Hmmmmhmmm…

Hmmmhmmm…

The Vesper

Call It What It Was

Walked in with a hole in my chest
Whiskey prayers and a thousand regrets
Sat down where the shadows won’t talk
And let the silence pour with every shot

I swore I was done with the fight
Wounds too deep for another night
But then she lit up the corner of the room
Like a hymn rising under a blood-red moon

What kind of war is love again?
Where hearts break just to learn to bend
She looked like peace but felt like flames
Now I’m drawing lines in my own name
Is this the battle or the plan?
Am I the soldier or the man?
I don’t know how it all began
But I’m signing up for your love plan

Her eyes held more than the wine
Stories folded in the space of time
She smiled and I forgot her name
’Cause all I saw was my soul rearranged

Maybe I’m foolish, maybe I’m blind
But maybe the war ends this time
If love’s a fight I’ve lost before
Maybe she’s what I was fighting for

What kind of war is love again?
Where hearts break just to learn to bend
She looked like peace but felt like flames
Now I’m drawing lines in my own name
Is this the battle or the plan?
Am I the soldier or the man?
I don’t know how it all began
But I’m signing up for your love plan

So pour another round for the dead and the damned
I’ll raise my glass to the ones who understand
If love is war, then take my hand
Let’s lose together in this love plan

Love plan

Heard a tune on the radio today,
A tale as old as time, same old story.
Boy chasing feelings, ain't that crazy?
Risked it all and gave his heart away.
"Only fools fall in love," they say;

Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (that’s crazy).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (give it all away).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (but that’s okay).
Only fools fall, only fools fall.

Saw a girl and a boy at the bar last night,
In that crowded room under the moonlight.
They met each other’s eyes in a space so tight,
No words spoken, but the message clear and bright.
"Only fools fall in love," isn't that right?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
'Cause I was a witness that night.

Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (just one night).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (at first sight).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (ain’t that right).
Only fools fall, only fools fall.

Watched two strangers at the park again,
Caught in the moment, lost in the rain.
They danced until both feet were in pain,
Step by step until they both aligned.
Together, their hearts combined.
Only fools fall in love in no time,
'Cause in love, time is divine.

Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (in no time).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (when stars align).
Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (it’s all fine).
Only fools fall, only fools fall.

This thing we all call love
Even if we fail and trip, we'll rise above.
(Only fools, only fools, only fools.)
Take someone’s hand and give it a try,
Paint memories up in the sky.
(Only fools, only fools, only fools.)
Wise men can say whatever they want,
(Oh, they can say whatever they want).

One sure thing I know:
When Cupid hits you,
There’s nothing you can say or do.
When love hits (you),
Just be a fool and go.
One sure thing I know:
When Cupid hits you,
There’s nothing you can say or do.
When love hits (you),
Just be a fool and go.

Only fools fall in love, they say.
Only fools fall in love (it's okay).
But when the night fades into day,
And all the doubts melt away,
You’ll know the risk was worth the play.
Love finds a fool, and that’s the way.

Only fools fall, only fools fall.
(Only fools fall, only fools fall.)
Only fools fall, only fools fall.

Only Fools Fall

Soleil de Minuit

I lied in the silence, wore peace like a mask.

I Lied in the Silence opens Act IV – Fading Room, a chapter shaped by quiet rage and unresolved guilt.
This song speaks from the still-burning core hidden beneath false calm — where silence wasn’t healing, but hiding.
