Lyrics
[Verse 1] I feel the spark, when you’re touching me My body’s burning, I need you, can’t you see Skin on skin, like arson and desire Ignite our love, take me higher [Pre Chorus] Our fingers slip away, after the night Drowning every spark, fading the light [Chorus] You flood my veins, with your silence Though, I’ve been nothing but, compliant You turn to water, I lose my flame Is it me, or this kind of love, to blame Together, we’re erupting chaos, apart we’re rain I’m so confused, my heart in ashes, my heart in pain [Verse 2] You’re a firestorm, I can’t outrun Saphire eyes, melts me, I’m undone Come close, your kisses are on fire Then you turn away, flames at ceasefire [Chorus] You flood my veins, with your silence Though, I’ve been nothing but, compliant You turn to water, I lose my flame Is it me, or this kind of love, to blame Together, we’re erupting chaos, apart we’re rain I’m so confused, my heart in ashes, my heart in pain [Verse 3] Don’t leave me choking, on the waves Keep the torch lit, our love can be saved Burn me down, I love it like this Can’t take the silence, it’s you that I miss [Chorus] You flood my veins, with your silence Though, I’ve been nothing but, compliant You turn to water, I lose my flame Is it me, or this kind of love, to blame Together, we’re erupting chaos, apart we’re rain I’m so confused, my heart in ashes, my heart in pain [Chorus] You flood my veins, with your silence Though, I’ve been nothing but, compliant You turn to water, I lose my flame Is it me, or this kind of love, to blame Together, we’re erupting chaos, apart we’re rain I’m so confused, my heart in ashes, my heart in pain Don’t leave me choking, on the waves Keep the torch lit, our love can be saved…

You've really got the 80s rock style lyric perfected!
My favorite decade! Maybe I'm stuck in it...musically. :) Thanks for the review
It may just be my own personal lens on it, but this feel almost like an anti-love song in the sense that it feels like a description of a harmful addiction for someone who has been enthralled in lust for someone else who is perhaps controlling and manipulatively neglectful "You flood my veins, with your silence / Though, I’ve been nothing but, compliant." Maybe you did intend this kind of read "Is it me, or this kind of love, to blame"?
Great use of elements throughout the smooth flowing, poetic lyrics that many can relate to. Thanks for playing :)
