Poison In Your Veins

Verse

At first I came with gentle hands,

A glow you thought you could command.

I wrapped you warm, I stilled your cries,

Fed you comfort dressed in lies.

Verse

I gave you courage, made you brave,

A mask of joy you longed to crave.

I told you, “See, I make you whole.

I am the medicine for your soul.”

Chorus

But love like mine is never free,

It feasts on flesh and misery.

I kissed your mouth, then drained you thin,

And smiled as rot took root within.

Verse

The pit was deep- you tried to flee,

But all your strength belongs to me.

Your nails tore skin, your throat grew raw,

I dragged you down, I broke your jaw.

Chorus

I drowned your laughter, stole your name,

Bent you beneath a weight of shame.

I twisted truth, I made you vile,

A snarling beast without a smile.

Verse

Your friends? I starved them from your side.

Your hope? I burned it up with pride.

Your love? I cut it limb from limb,

Until the world grew cold and grim.

Chorus

I made you a liar, a thief, and a slave,

Led you singing to your grave.

I bound your hands, I caged your breath,

A dog that trembles, begging for death.

Verse

No light, no peace, no sacred song,

Just hollow nights that rot too long.

Your veins my altar, blood my wine,

You prayed to me, your God, divine.

Chorus

I am the poison in your veins,

The whisper pulsing in your brain.

I am the rope, the blade, the fall,

The voice that says, “End it all.”

Outro

So drink again, and sink below,

Embrace the death you’ve come to know.

Your final scream, your choking breath-

I’ll keep you close, my prize in death.
