tender talk

tender talk but underneath this tender talk / it’s really all about me dark synthpop confessional in a nightclub mirror. electroclash poise, darkwave restraint, narcissism framed as care. cold light, soft hands. lyrics below. for fans of: iamx, tr/st, boy harsher, crystal castles, zola jesus tags: iamx, tr/st, boy harsher, crystal castles, zola jesus suno: https://suno.com/s/xJd4jT5pfEBNcm7g lyrics: [Verse 1] I’m asking how you’ve been Then trace my name In the window fog Like that’s your answer Buy you your favorite drink Tell the same three jokes Watch your eyes light up Just to see my own glow back [Chorus] Call it love Call it care Call it “I’ll always be there” But every time I hold you close I’m just checking my reflection In your stare Dress it up Make it sweet Say it’s us Say it’s we But underneath this tender talk It’s really all about me [Verse 2] I write you little notes On your bathroom mirror All curved in hearts Signed with my full name Say I’m proud of you While counting all the ways Your little victories Make my story look brave [Chorus] Call it love Call it care Call it “I’ll always be there” But every time I hold you close I’m just checking my reflection In your stare Dress it up Make it sweet Say it’s us Say it’s we But underneath this tender talk It’s really all about me [Bridge] When you finally start to cry I tilt your chin Turn you to the light [low vocal register] “Look at you” I softly say But I’m really watching How kind I appear today [Chorus] Call it love Call it care Call it “I’ll always be there” But every time I hold you close I’m just checking my reflection In your stare Dress it up Make it sweet Say it’s us Say it’s we But underneath this tender talk It’s really all about me
