Midnight Bite

[Intro] Under neon lights I keep a secret flame A craving that I whisper to the flame [Verse 1] Steam rises like a quiet confession Crumbs of longing on my tongue's impressions I taste a memory I can’t quite own A forbidden bite that feels like home [Pre-Chorus] No witnesses in the kitchen glow Just sugar-salted secrets that I know [Chorus] This craving loves me in the dark, I swear Guilt drapes my shoulders like a velvet air I reach for sunshine in a midnight bite Sweet surrender that I hold tight [Verse 2] Buttons of caramel drift on the tongue A hush of bliss in every little rung The world dissolves in the steam and sighs I linger where the line of longing lies [Pre-Chorus] Quiet bells of conscience softly chime But love insists we trade the rule of time [Chorus] This craving loves me in the dark, I swear Guilt drapes my shoulders like a velvet air I reach for sunshine in a midnight bite Sweet surrender that I hold tight [Bridge] If dawn peeks in, I’ll pretend I’m fine Forgive the thrill that tasted like a sign Two hands tremble, one kiss still warm In the hush, I’m where desire is born [Chorus] This craving loves me in the dark, I swear Guilt drapes my shoulders like a velvet air I reach for sunshine in a midnight bite Sweet surrender that I hold tight [Outro] Secret supper fades with morning light Yet the craving lingers, velvet night
