Ready to bleed

You play with my head; get out while you can.
I walk through the fire, you pray it takes hold.
You feed the infection, you choke me with smoke.
I'm calling your bluff, and your blood's running cold.

— "Back off!" I spit.
— "You're playing with death!"
— "You just throw your head back and steal my last breath."

Two ghosts in a room, and we're running out of space.
You feed on my venom and laugh in my face.

— "I love to pull your strings."
— "Why? Say it to my face!"
— "To see how much you can take."
— "You dig in the wound just to see
What rots at the core, what breaks inside me."

Chorus:
Why crave a slave who submits to the pain,
Swallowing static, erasing his brain,
Who kneels in the dark, losing all control?
I'll love you only if you tear out your soul.
So tell me: are you ready to bleed?
— ARE YOU READY TO BLEED?
— ARE YOU READY TO BLEED?

— "I'm asking again: why? I'm crossing the line."
— "'Cause I look for monsters on borrowed time."
— "I'll find someone darker, you'll be erased.

I'll wipe out your shadow, leave no single trace.
You snap just once, and you fall to the floor.
You're nothing but dust, you exist no more."

Chorus:
Why crave a slave who submits to the pain,
Swallowing static, erasing his brain,
Who kneels in the dark, losing all control?
I'll love you only if you tear out your soul.
So tell me: are you ready to bleed?
— ARE YOU READY TO BLEED?
— ARE YOU READY TO BLEED?

Inside you're a black hole: no exit, no light.
A beautiful parasite draining my life.
Your love is a sickness that refuses to heal,
Stripping my skin just to see if I feel…
Alright then, keep pushing your luck.
I memorized every trap; I won't get stuck.
You're hunting for targets who sink in the deep,
Who trade their last heartbeat for permanent sleep.

— "Why crave a slave who submits?"
— "THEN WATCH ME BREAK FREE!"
— "Are you ready to bleed?"
— "ARE YOU READY TO BLEED?"

But remember this: when the parasite dies,
The host is still standing, the fever will rise.
You're a beautiful nightmare that feasts on the weak;
One day you'll look back, and I'm out of your reach.

— "Reach?"
— "Forever."
