Lyrics: Sweet and Bitter
From the album Canter (December 21, 2025)
Duality's Taste
Bitter-sweet flips to sweet-and-bitter, endless echo in the loop.
Black body commodified, blackness packaged for the highest bid.
What sells the skin, what buys the soul—pleasure's edge cuts both ways.
Allure in the ache, desire laced with disdain.
In Velvet Realism, every sweetness carries its shadow bite.
Bitter-sweet, sweet-and-bitter — where every taste of pleasure carries the sting of its own commodification.
