(Verse 1 — Low, Dark Whisper)
In the dead of night, when silence owns the corridors,
I move through rooms like a shadow sharpened on regret.
Rebecca —
your name cleaves the dark, a silver edge against my throat.
I find you under amber bulbs, breath small as a held coin,
The scent of smoke on my coat, the city’s salt on your skin.
I am a man shaped by oath and ruined streets,
A throne wrought from debt and close-breathed danger,
And your heartbeat is a prisoner I carry beneath my ribs.
I circle slow, not to frighten —
but because the light you lend is the only thing that keeps me whole.
You are the soft place left in a world of knives.
(Pre-Chorus — Whisper)
You breathe and my pulse splinters.
You speak and rooms rearrange themselves around your name.
Rebecca — you are the crack I’d fall through on purpose.
(Chorus — Dark, Hooked)
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
I press my promise to your mouth — a vow in the dark.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
(Verse 2 — Lower, More Intense)
You stand like a lighthouse in a harbor of scorn,
Not afraid of me — but knowing the weight I carry.
Salt at the corner of your lips when you smile, the clock’s single chime in the hall.
Your fingers find my sleeve, not because you must,
But because you want the danger as much as the warmth.
When my shadow leans to touch your shoulder,
Your voice is steady; your eyes are wide open.
You say my name like a choice — not a prayer, not a plea.
My hand rests low on your waist, possession braided with care.
You lean in because you want to. You reach because you choose.
(Pre-Chorus 2 — Soft, Certain)
Rebecca — even the night listens when you speak.
My ghosts fall silent beneath the weight of your breath.
I am no saint, no myth — only a man who would burn his world for the shape of you.
(Chorus 2 — Deeper, Sharper)
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
I kiss you like an oath the street can’t undo.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
(Bridge — Very Dark Whisper, Slow)
They say I command the city — the alleys, the coin, the fear.
But you — you are the single thing I do not own.
I do not want to rule you. I want you beside me,
Sharing the same smoke, feeling the same small trembling.
When you tremble, my hands remember how to hush the wind.
When you whisper, I break the lines I built to keep from falling.
You stay of your own will; you reach for me, eyes open.
Rebecca — the crown I wear bends for you alone.
(Extended Chorus — Dark, Possessive, Emotional)
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
When I press my lips to yours the night bows low;
The city exhales and even fate holds its breath.
You call me dangerous — and you stay.
You call me dark — and you reach for me anyway.
Maybe it’s madness, maybe it’s fate,
Two ruined things learning the same rhythm.
I hold you close not to claim you —
But because letting go would be like stepping off a cliff.
Rebecca, my shadow's heartbeat.
