“Break Me Slow” lives in that dark space where desire, defiance and vulnerability collide.
Built around a slow, soulful blues atmosphere, expressive electric guitar and a late night melancholic mood, the song follows two people locked in a confrontation where neither one is willing to step back. Beneath the toughness, though, something begins to crack.
“I’m not made of stone, I’ll let it show.”
This isn’t a song about surrender. It’s about allowing yourself to feel even when feeling means getting hurt. Raw, intimate and unapologetic, “Break Me Slow” carries the spirit of slow electric blues with a modern, cinematic edge.

Lyrics:
You came in with mud on your cuffs
Split lip smile and thunder inside
You said I look like trouble
I said you should know by now
Hands on the table, back to the wall
Glass on the counter, quiet before the fall
I laughed at your warning, you watched the same
Wild match kissing the edge of a flame
I’ve been quiet long enough
Held the dare, bit my tongue
Now the room is shaking
Hear me when I say
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, break me slow
I’m not made of stone, I’ll let it show
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, make me feel it
I was half in when I walked through
You can stand in the doorway but I won’t bend for you
Rain in the gutter, iron in the air
Room got smaller every time you stared
Last swallow tasted smoke and salt
Felt the first crack, thought about the fault
You stepped closer, I didn’t move back
Pulse in my throat like a hand on the track
Could’ve been softer, could’ve been still
Came with a dare and a nervous will
I’ve been quiet long enough
Held the dare, bit my tongue
Now the room is shaking
Hear me when I say
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, break me slow
I’m not made of stone, I’ll let it show
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, make me feel it
I was half in when I walked through
You can stand in the doorway but I won’t bend for you
If you want the truth, I’m already bruised
Already half in, already confused
Don’t call me victim, don’t call me sweet
Storm in my ribs and dust on my feet
Say what you came for, say it plain
I can take the fire, I can take the rain
I’m not asking for mercy
I’m asking to feel it
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, break me slow
I’m not made of stone, I’ll let it show
Come on, come on, break me slow
Come on, come on, make me feel it
I was half in when I walked through
You can stand in the doorway but I won’t bend for you
And all at once the air went still
Your shadow softened
I touched my lip
And smiled at the bruise
Ain’t that a thing…
I came all this way just to see
If you’d dare come through
