Midnight Invitation

Verse 1
The clock forgets its breathing at the edge of twelve,
Candlelight confesses things the shadows never tell.
Your name drips from the silence like a velvet sin,
I taste your pulse in every place I haven’t been.

Pre-Chorus
Hush now—hear the city sleep,
Every door a promise I can keep.
I’ve worn a thousand faces thin,
Tonight, my love, I’m wearing yours within.

Chorus
Come closer, darling, don’t be afraid of the dark,
It only hides the beauty where the broken hearts spark.
Lay your dawn down, trade it for my kiss,
Sign your breath away on a midnight invitation like this.
Forever’s just a step if you take my hand,
Eternal night blooms where the living can’t stand.

Verse 2
Your mirror’s learning how to lie for you tonight,
It’s blushing at the truth it’s losing in the light.
I’ve memorized the tremor in your veins,
I can make a cathedral out of all your pain.

Pre-Chorus
Soft as a vow, sharp as need,
I promise heaven’s overrated—stay with me.
Every scar becomes a crown,
Every scream a hymn I’ll write you down.

Bridge
If the sun asks where you went, I’ll lie,
Say you learned to fly and never said goodbye.
Your heartbeat stutters—hear how it begs?
I’ll teach it new rhythms between my fangs and your neck.

Verse 3
The roses bruise black when you whisper yes,
Time loosens its grip on your holy dress.
Fear tastes sweet when it finally bends,
When the end learns how to call itself “begin.”

Final Chorus
Come closer, darling, let the dark be kind,
It’s been waiting centuries to make you mine.
Lay your dawn down, feel the eclipse,
Seal the vow with blood on a midnight invitation like this.
Forever’s not a curse if you understand—
Eternal night blooms where we choose to stand.

Outro
The clock exhales, the candle dies,
Your shadow smiles with my hungry eyes.
Welcome home, my velvet sin—
The night opens wide…
Step in.
