cullen time

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The floorboards are breathing, a rhythmic slow hum
The silence of Forks is a beating drum
I’m draped in the sunlight, gold on my skin
Where the girl ends and the secret begins
A heavy kind of magic, a weight in my lap
The lock on the bedroom door is a ghost of a snap
And they’re standing in shadow, the gold-eyed kings
Watching the tension, the pull of the strings.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s not a secret if the room is wide open
It’s not a whisper if the silence is broken
They don’t want to touch, they just want to see
The beautiful chaos of what it means to be me.

(Chorus)
And I’m arching my back to the velvet air
A thousand years of longing, a singular stare
I’m tracing the vein, the heat, and the height
Slipping through the edges of the pale moonlight
I’m calling their names like a prayer, like a plea
While the weight of my longing sets the animal free.

(Verse 2)
My hand is a fever, a steady, slow slide
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Beneath the silk sheets, the heavy spheres sway
Two weighted gems in a shimmering play
They shift and they roll, a slow-motion dance
Caught in the grip of a predator's glance
Swaying like pendulums, rhythmic and deep
The kind of a secret a dead heart would keep.

(Bridge)
(Slower, breathy tempo)
Alice is humming, Edward is still
Jasper is shaking, fighting the will
But I’m the conductor, the pulse, and the heat
The sound of my surrender, the rush of the beat
Higher... higher...
Until the world is just a single, shimmering wire.

(Chorus)
And I’m arching my back to the velvet air
A thousand years of longing, a singular stare
I’m tracing the vein, the heat, and the height
Slipping through the edges of the pale moonlight
I’m calling their names like a prayer, like a plea
While the weight of my longing sets the animal free.

(Outro)
(Slowing down, fading)
The weight...
The roll of the tide...
Edward... Alice... Jasper...
I’m wide open.
Just watch me.
Just watch...
(Silence)
