Reflection

[Verse 1]

The chase ends in a corner, back against the stone
But I’ve never felt less like I was alone
Your glove against my throat, a heavy, dark demand
But you don't realize I’m the one who’s guiding your hand
I can feel the heat through the black of your clothes
A hunger so deep that nobody knows
You’re waiting for a plea, a tear, or a cry
But all you’re gonna find is the reflection in my eye.

[Pre-Chorus]

Go ahead, tighten the grip, let the tension break
I want to see how much of me you think you can take
The game wasn't meant to be won, baby
It was meant to be tasted.

[Chorus]

Look in the mirror, tell me what you crave
Is it the girl you hunted, or the path that I paved?
You’ve got the mask, but I’ve got the bite
I’m the itch in your skin in the middle of the night
I’m not your victim, I’m your favorite sin
The only place your darkness can truly begin
In the reflection, it’s finally clear
I’m the only addiction that you should fear.

[Verse 2]

Those blue eyes are burning, tracing every line
Like you’re trying to decide if I’m yours or you’re mine
You like the way I tremble? It’s not from the cold
It’s the weight of the secrets that we haven’t told
Go on, show me the devil behind that obsidian face
I’ll show you a heaven in this godforsaken place
You didn't trap me in your web of shadows and lies
I built the cage, I just let you think it was your prize.

[Bridge]

(Vocal gets lower, more breathy)
Don't stop now, we're too far gone, We've been dancing all along.
You chased the dark, I lit the flame, Now we're both forgetting names.
You wore the mask, I wore the smile,
We've been lost here for a while. You thought you hunted me tonight, But I was leading every step into the light.

[Chorus]

Look in the mirror, tell me what you crave
Is it the girl you hunted, or the path that I paved?
You’ve got the mask, but I’ve got the bite
I’m the itch in your skin in the middle of the night
I’m not your victim, I’m your favorite sin
The only place your darkness can truly begin
In the reflection, it’s finally clear
I’m the only addiction that you should fear.

[Outro]

(Slow, melodic, fading out)
Ready or not...
I’ve been waiting for you to find me.
(Whispered)
I was leading you home.
Now... show me what’s behind the mask.
(Heavy heartbeat fades into silence)

Dark Romance R&B / Cinematic Pop, 120 BPM, D minor. Female vocals are low-register, smoky, seductive, and emotionally hypnotic. Use extended note tails and sustained phrase endings throughout the song. Important words should linger, stretch, and slowly fade with smooth R&B vocal runs, subtle melisma, and gentle portamento. End phrases with long, breathy note extensions rather than short pop cutoffs. Notes should glide into one another with emotional tension and controlled vibrato. The delivery is intimate, fluid, and addictive, with drawn-out endings that create a floating, late-night R&B atmosphere. Heavy whisper layers, ghost harmonies, and soft ad-libs fill the spaces between lines. No bright pop vocals, no abrupt phrase endings, and no bratty attitude. Vocals should feel smooth, haunting, cinematic, and irresistibly seductive
