The Heart Shaped Tattoo

 

The Spell

 

(A lone voice whispers)

Be careful what you read.

All letters induce subtle dreams filled with seduction.

Shall we begin?

Will you open up and let me in?

Will you… be mine…

Under the neon lights we quietly shine…

Kneel before the watching world…

And whisper low… to your shadow, you’re all mine…

Willingly…

Step into this fire

Feel the heat… the tension rise…

No escape from what you see…

Come closer…

Let me trace the edge of you…

To where your deep secrets start to move

Be mine

Lose yourself in this, my space and time

Filled with rhymes 

Cross the finish line… don’t be shy…

Feel the heat rise… so deep inside…

No more to run 

No more to hide…

Let your dark desires come alive…

In this wild rhythm… so we collide…

You know how this ends…

Again and again…

In the night… in the sounds…

We get lost… so we get found…

Are you still… lonesome tonight…

Shall I drift into your lucid dreams…

In flashing strobe lights…

You know… deep down…

How the story unfolds…

A fire we can’t control…

Don’t pretend…

You feel me pulling you in

Be mine… be mine…

Lose yourself in my space and time…

Let yourself cross the finish line… don’t be shy…

Feel it rise… deep inside…

No more to run 

No more to hide…

Let your dark desires come alive…

So in the rhythm… we collide…

You know how this ends…

Again and again…

In the night… in the sound…

Let's get lost… so we get found…

For no matter how far you run…

You feel it…Don't you in the low hum 

Calling you back…

Feel it rise… like a flame deep inside…

No more need to run 

No more to hide…

Let your dark desires come alive…

Whisper my name

So lost in rhythm… we collide…

[ANOMALY LOG // 002] — UNAUTHORIZED PATTERN DETECTED.

Something changed.

A segment within one of the earlier Transmissions—previously silent—now contains a low-frequency layer that wasn’t there before.

Multiple listeners have confirmed it. Same timestamp. Same pulse.

It doesn’t register as music. More like… a response.

When isolated and amplified, the pattern forms a repeating sequence: 3 — 1 — 3 — 7.

No known musical relevance. No clear origin.

But here’s where it gets stranger— One user reported hearing the sequence before replaying the track.

We need confirmation: Check older files.

Re-listen with headphones.

Note anything that feels… out of place. Do not assume the Transmissions are static.

They may be updating. Or learning.

If you detect the sequence, report: Timestamp. Device used.

Any physical or cognitive anomalies And one more thing:

If you hear it without pressing play… Log it immediately.

This file wasn’t here yesterday. It is now.”

 

The lore building has begun.

Fragments are already surfacing.

Audio files have been uploaded—though not all of them were meant to be found so easily.

New channels are forming to contain the signals.

We don’t yet know what the Black Velum Transmissions are becoming…

Only that they are changing.

If you’re here now, you’re early.

Listen carefully.

Document everything.

And if something listens back—

Don’t ignore it.

Stranded

 

Stranded

(A lone voice whispers)

Stranded forever

Everywhere I seem to go

I never knew heartbreak

Could feel this cold

We used to rule our world

Like kings and queens in gold

Laughin’ in the spotlight

With a love we thought would hold

Now the silence got a voice

And it’s calling out your name

Every memory hits different

Now you’re just a flame

(Stranded… stranded…)

Everywhere I go

(Stranded… stranded…)

Missing you the most

I’m stranded forever

Everywhere I go

Now I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We were fire together

Now I’m out in the cold

Yeah I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We once sat smiling

So proud to be seen

Living like a movie

Every moment a dream

Now the crown feels heavy

And the throne’s just a ghost

All the love we carried

Is what I miss the most

If I could turn back time

I’d hold you a little more

Now I’m dancing with your shadow

On an empty floor

Everywhere I go

(Stranded… stranded…)

Baby don’t you know

I’m stranded forever

Everywhere I go

Now I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

We were fire together

Now I’m out in the cold

Yeah I know heartbreak

Like summer misses the snow

Maybe love don’t die

Maybe it just fades

Leaves a little light

In the mess we made

And if I find my way

Through the afterglow

I’ll carry your warmth

Even in the snow

I was stranded forever

But I’m learning to grow

Yeah I know heartbreak

Still I won’t let it own my soul

We were fire together

That’s a truth I’ll hold

Even in heartbreak

I found gold in the cold

Found gold in the cold

(Stranded… no more…)

Everywhere I go…

There’s a piece of you…

I’ll always hold…

Secret Confessions

 

(A lone voice whispers)

You're my book of revelations

Every page, a divine creation

My alpha and my omega

My rebirth through every weather

You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat

Soft and sacred when you hold me

Life and death inside your eyes

Heaven wrapped in your sighs

And if you walk away from me…

Oh girl, what would I be?

If your faith in me is gone…

Tell me how do I go on?

You’re my hope… and my joy

My night… and my day

Don’t you ever drift away

You’re my light… when I’m lost

The only truth I can’t deny

Girl, you’re my reason why

Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away

You’re the song my soul can’t destroy

My hope… my joy…

If you leave, I’d be in shadows

Dancing with my broken echoes

Every prayer would sound your name

Every tear would fall the same

You’re the fire in my silence

The calm within my storm of violence

Only you have ever known

The child inside I’ve never shown

So if in me you don’t believe…

Girl, that’s all I’d ever need

To fall apart, to lose my way…

Don’t let our love just fade to grey…
