Lyrics

V1:
[Verse 1]
Ahhh… the silence drips, a velvet tease
A furtive smile on shivering knees
I am your fool, your aching need
Twisted tight in your trembling creed

Taut as a bow, I aim, I cling
A feral whisper, a breathless thing
To pluck and pinch, to bite, to sing
In shadowed rooms where fools are kings

[Pre-Chorus]
And you,
Quiver like the night
As I curl inside your mind
A slip of tongue, a line
To leave you cold and warm and blind

[Chorus]
Ohhh… there is a fool that never loves you
But he’ll linger, taste, and bind
Yeah, there is a fool that never loves you
And I’ll haunt your twisted spine

[Verse 2]
I spoon, I feed, I narcotize
Articums, my wicked lies
A breath you take, a name you sigh
(Ohhh…) Release me now, or watch me try

Your laughter splits the aching dark
A trembling moan, a feral spark
The wizardry in sheets gone stark
Red lips confess your beating heart

[Pre-Chorus]
And I
Unwind your ribboned fate
While you claw and call me late
Just a shadow at the gate
A fool you’ll always chase

[Chorus]
Ohhh… there is a fool that never loves you
But he’ll linger, taste, and bind
Yeah, there is a fool that never loves you
And I’ll haunt your twisted spine

[Bridge]
(Ohhhh…)
Taut and torn and bent in bliss
Your body, an unwritten wish
I hear your feet meet pavement’s hiss
As I vanish in the mist

[Chorus - Extended]
There is a fool that never loves you
But you’ll keep him all the same
A grin that melts your reason through
In the fire, in the flame

Yeah, there is a fool that never loves you
But he’ll linger, taste, and bind
There is a fool that never loves you
And he’s always in your mind

[Outro - Whispered]
Ahhh… finally, an eloquent sin…
The fool I’ll always be, within…

V2:
(Verse 1)
Take me down to your shadowed room,
Twist me tight in your sweet perfume,
A fevered fool, pale cheeks, beguiled,
Singing “please, please, please” with a tongue defiled.

Pluck and pinch at my raunch-drunk pride,
Hands on hips as the fools collide,
I’ll be the stain you cannot cleanse,
The ache that starts but never ends.

(Pre-Chorus)
And if a feral whisper finds its way,
To your trembling lips on a moonlit stray,
I’d give my pulse, my hollowed-out truth,
To hear you say: “I still want you.”

(Chorus)
Oh, there is a fool that never loves you,
A tongue-tied rogue with no disguise,
There is a fool who slips right through you,
His touch leaves your heart unsatisfied.

(Verse 2)
Wrap me soft in your laced deceit,
Arctic tongues where our bodies meet,
I’m art, I’m narcotic, your doll gone bad,
With ruin’s grin, perfect, foolish, and mad.

Thirsty whispers, hard lines we chase,
Your grin lit wide, such a wicked face,
To quake, to clinch, to let it break,
To laugh in bliss, my final mistake.

(Pre-Chorus)
And if your bedsheets whisper crimes tonight,
From fingertips that burn in fading light,
I’d trade my name, my frayed disguise,
For one more slip of your silk-wrapped lies.

(Chorus)
Oh, there is a fool that never loves you,
A tongue-tied rogue with no disguise,
There is a fool who slips right through you,
His touch leaves your heart unsatisfied.

(Bridge)
Ah, goddess cruel with your sordid game,
Cracked and cocksure, your voice to blame,
I am the ghost, the stain you can’t see,
The one who dreams where your hands won’t reach me.

(Breakdown)
And as your laughter lingers sweet,
My trenchcoat drags through your darkened street,
I’ll kiss your curse till the spell rings true,
I’m still a fool that never loves you.

(Final Chorus)
Oh, there is a fool that never loves you,
A tongue-tied rogue with no disguise,
There is a fool who slips right through you,
His touch leaves your heart unsatisfied.

(Outro)
I’m the fool who slips right through you,
And I’ll haunt you till the end of time…

V3:
Foolish Me

[Verse 1]
Slipping slow, oh the velvet dusk calls,
Twisting truths as my fingers do crawl.
Your lips, a labyrinth where I lose,
Blind to the line, I’m bound to choose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Foolish, foolish me… (oh)
Dancing in your ecstasy.
Madness wrapped in rapture tight,
You tease, you turn, it feels so right.

[Chorus]
Foolish me, foolish me,
Waltzing wild with your fantasy.
Tie me up, unwind my spine,
Love-drunk whispers turn divine.

Foolish me, foolish me,
Bound to you, but forever free.
A kiss that burns, a bite that feeds,
I’m the crime you crave, the sin you need.

[Verse 2]
Come, let’s plunge where the silence hums,
Magma pulses, my heartbeat drums.
I’ll drink your dark like aged red wine,
Quivering joy, let’s cross that line.

[Pre-Chorus]
Foolish, foolish me… (oh)
Caught inside your chemistry.
Blissful torture, tangled deep,
This foolish game, my soul to keep.

[Chorus]
Foolish me, foolish me,
Waltzing wild with your fantasy.
Tie me up, unwind my spine,
Love-drunk whispers turn divine.

Foolish me, foolish me,
Bound to you, but forever free.
A kiss that burns, a bite that feeds,
I’m the crime you crave, the sin you need.

[Bridge]
Let me wrap my words around you, love,
Slick and silver, perfect shove.
Taste the art my breath designs,
Raunch-drenched musings – what’s mine is mine.

[Breakdown]
Shh… feel me carve my name inside…
Foolish me, your wild delight.

[Chorus]
Foolish me, foolish me,
Waltzing wild with your fantasy.
Tie me up, unwind my spine,
Love-drunk whispers turn divine.

Foolish me, foolish me,
Bound to you, but forever free.
A kiss that burns, a bite that feeds,
I’m the crime you crave, the sin you need.

[Outro]
Foolish, foolish me…
Forever yours in ecstasy.

V4:

[Intro Bass]  

[Verse 1]  
Ahh foolish me, what a game we play  
A silky tease, I’m the shadow you crave  
Twisted delight, slow and restrained  
The art of you, pulling me in again  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Slick and sly, you quake, you sigh  
Tongue-tied whispers in a sultry lie  

[Chorus]  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Bound and wild, you’ll never be free  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Soft, so deep, you’re tangled in me  

[Verse 2]  
Sweet sharp afflictions, so perfect, so rare  
Molten desire spun in the midnight air  
Clenched and released, you quiver, you breathe  
The endless laugh that you cannot leave  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Spun so tight, under velvet night  
I’m your feral joy, your delicious bite  

[Chorus]  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Bound and wild, you’ll never be free  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Soft, so deep, you’re tangled in me  

[Bridge]  
(Whispered)  
Dancing, drifting, through ecstasy’s haze  
Wicked touch, I’ll set your soul ablaze  

[Chorus]  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Bound and wild, you’ll never be free  
Foolish me, foolish me  
Soft, so deep, you’re tangled in me
