Opiate

(Bethany Grundy)

This piece dives into the intoxicating side of love—the kind that slips under your skin slowly and leaves you chasing a high you know you shouldn’t want. Wrapped in hypnotic imagery and emotional tension, the lyrics explore devotion, dependency, and the quiet danger of someone who feels as soothing as an escape… and as consuming as an addiction. Every line balances softness with threat, warmth with withdrawal. It’s a love song with teeth—sensual, atmospheric, and hauntingly relatable for anyone who’s ever been pulled into a connection too powerful to resist. Perfect for fans of moody pop, dark electronica, and slow-burn emotional storytelling.

[Intro] 
Drip by drip, you pull me in 
Soft like smoke beneath my skin 
 
[Verse 1] 
You came on slow, like twilight rain 
A sweet injection to my veins 
I didn’t know, but now I feel 
A warmth too potent to be real 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
Every breath, you're closer still 
Every touch, another pill 
You hush the pain, you blur the lines 
I lose myself inside your eyes 
 
[Chorus] 
You're like an opiate 
High I can't forget 
Running through my blood 
Like a whispered threat 
You're the calm, you're the war 
And I keep wanting more 
You're like an opiate 
Love I can't regret 
 
[Verse 2] 
Numb the fear, erase the past 
Make me think this rush will last 
I chase your ghost from dusk till dawn 
Even when you're gone, you're never gone 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
Every hit, a sweet decline 
Every kiss, a borrowed time 
You're the fire in my brain 
The beautiful kind of pain 
 
[Chorus] 
You're like an opiate 
High I can't forget 
Running through my blood 
Like a whispered threat 
You're the calm, you're the war 
And I keep wanting more
