(Verse 1)
The air is thinning in this crowded room
Wrapped up in silk, but it smells like a tomb
You call it passion when you draw the line
But your sweet devotion is drinking my wine
A warm embrace on a freezing night
Why does a comfort feel just like a fight?

(Pre-Chorus)
The pressure is rising, it's starting to bend
Is this the beginning or just the end?
A heartbeat away from the final release
Do we break the skin just to find our peace?

(Chorus)
It’s a strangulation of the soul!
The harder we grip, the more we lose control!
Is it love if it snaps under the weight?
Or are we just dancing on the edge of our fate?
Hold me closer till I cannot breathe
Liberation or demise... what's underneath?

(Verse 2)
Toxicity dripping from a golden cup
We're sinking down but we're looking up
Every promise is a tightening noose
We love the cage, but we beg for the loose
The tension is thrilling, the terror is sweet
Two bitter rivals in a dead-end street

(Pre-Chorus)
The pressure is rising, it's starting to bend
Is this the beginning or just the end?
A heartbeat away from the final release
Do we break the skin just to find our peace?

(Chorus)
It’s a strangulation of the soul!
The harder we grip, the more we lose control!
Is it love if it snaps under the weight?
Or are we just dancing on the edge of our fate?
Hold me closer till I cannot breathe
Liberation or demise... what's underneath?

(Bridge)
Pull it tighter! Let it snap!
We built the cage, we set the trap!
Thrilling horror, deadly grace!
Die together in this cold embrace!
One last heartbeat, let it snap!
One last heartbeat... let it snap!

(Chorus)
It’s a strangulation of the soul!
The harder we grip, the more we lose control!
Is it love if it snaps under the weight?
Or are we just dancing on the edge of our fate?
Hold me closer till I cannot breathe
Liberation or demise... what's underneath?

(Outro)
A heartbeat away...
From the snap.
