Solace
de Lyra Pramuk
Our stolen glances in a crowded space
They’ll never see the danger in your face
You left a shadow carved inside my skin
Like ink that burns, I let you settle in
All of this waiting, this hunger
Nerves breaking, I wonder—
My hands are trembling, holding back from you, ah‑ah‑ah
All of this silence, this pressure
The ache and secret measure—
My hands are trembling from all this, ah‑ah‑ah‑ah
Say the word, and time just stops
I don’t want you as my friend
Every move I make is a dare to sin
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
Carve your fire in the frame of me
I don’t want it subtly
No disguise, no second thoughts—
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
Unavoidable, I won’t even try
If it burns me down, at least I’ll feel alive
Spilling red wine in the half‑light glow
Your mouth on mine, and they’ll never know
They act like they’ve already caught us
But they know nothing about us
All of this waiting, this hunger
Nerves breaking, I wonder—
My hands are trembling, holding back from you, ah‑ah‑ah
All of this silence, this pressure
The ache and secret measure—
My hands are trembling from all this, ah‑ah‑ah‑ah
Say the word, and time just stops
I don’t want you as my friend
Every move I make is a dare to sin
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
Carve your fire in the frame of me
Brand it like eternity
No disguise, no second thoughts—
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
Flashback—the wild in your eyes
My reckless heart and your daring disguise
Even in my worst lies, you saw the flames
Even in the wreckage, you stayed the same
And I woke up right on time
Now your breathing steadies mine
Can’t explain the shaking spine—ah‑ah‑ah‑ah
Say the word, and time just stops
I don’t want you as my friend
Every move I make is a dare to sin
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
Cut your name in the soul of me
Set me ablaze endlessly
No disguise, no second thoughts—
So take it o‑o‑o‑off
There’s a mark in me, burning proof
You’re the secret fire, golden truth
Only bought this mask so you could tear it loose
So take it, o‑o‑o‑off
