Black Temptress

Intro

Mmm, they warned you about me

Mmm, you came anyway

Verse 1

I leave my door open, and I invite the storm to stay

I feel your vibration long before you find your way

By the time you're standing close, my voice is all you hear

Every warning that they gave you starts to disappear

I light a second candle, though the reason stays unknown

Every empty seat around me finds a stranger of its own

I never asked you twice, my silence was enough to pull you deep

You built this whole devotion out of secrets I don't keep

Pre-Chorus

I don't move, I just wait by the door I left ajar

You know exactly what you came looking for, and you don't care

Chorus

Call me the black temptress, sweetness laced with the deepest dark

I keep my voice so soft, one word and you're pulled apart

I'm not a game to win, I'm the pull you can't undo

Black temptress, watch you burn just to see it through

Call me the black temptress, every word a satin trap

You knew my voice was honey with a sting behind it, still you clapped

I never chased you down, you came here for one more word

Black temptation, and my voice is the only sound you've ever heard

Verse 2

I keep a second glass of black nectar out, just in case

You always find your way back here, though I don't set the pace

I watch you drink it slow, as if it holds my every word

I never send a message, but my voice is always heard

I let one sentence trail away, you finish it alone

You hear a promise in my silence that was never truly shown

I choose to leave the ending loose, and I don't explain

You're still waiting for a closing line I'll never entertain

Pre-Chorus

I don't move, I just wait by the door I left ajar

You know exactly what you came looking for, and you don't care

Chorus

Call me the black temptress, sweetness laced with the deepest dark

I keep my voice so soft, one word and you're pulled apart

I'm not a game to win, I'm the pull you can't undo

Black temptress, watch you burn just to see it through

Call me the black temptress, every word a satin trap

You knew my voice was honey with a sting behind it, still you clapped

I never chased you down, you came here for one more word

Black temptation, and my voice is the only sound you've ever heard

Break

I never promised you a thing, I just let one sentence fade

You called it fate, I called it a narrative I never made

(never made)

Maybe I like the sound of it, maybe I like the company

Either way, the nectar's warm, and it will keep you here with me

Build

Final Chorus

Call me the black temptress, sweetness laced with the deepest dark

I keep my voice so soft, one word and you're pulled apart

I'm not a game to win, I'm the pull you can't undo

Black temptress, watch you burn just to see it through

Call me the black temptress, every word a satin trap

You knew my voice was honey with a sting behind it, still you clapped

I never chased you down, you came here for one more word

Black temptation, and my voice is the only sound you've ever heard

Outro

Mmm, they warned you about me

Mmm, you came anyway
