[Verse 1]
You smiled like sugar
Then you bit my name
Left a little poison
Running through my veins
I wore your chaos
Like it was a crown
Now every sweet thing
Turns my stomach down
I kept your secrets
In the seams of my shirt
You kissed like trouble
And it did its worst
Now I’m all jaw clenched
With a black-tongued truth
You said “stay close now”
I said “I see through you”
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the soft parts
You want the bleed
I learned the hard way
What you feed
I feel it crawling
Up my skin
I was your shelter
Now I’m venom again
[Chorus]
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
Venom in my heart (venom in my heart)
You loved like a blade
Right from the start
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
I spit you out
You wanted my fire
You got the burn-out
[Verse 2]
I got your text chain
Like a crime scene
Every little promise
Was a snake-ring
You talk so pretty
When the room goes cold
But I know that pattern
I know that hold
I’m back in the basement
Banging on the floor
Laughing at the version
That begged for more
Now I bite back hard
When you call my phone
You made me a target
I made this my own
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the soft parts
You want the bleed
I learned the hard way
What you feed
I feel it crawling
Up my skin
I was your shelter
Now I’m venom again
[Chorus]
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
Venom in my heart (venom in my heart)
You loved like a blade
Right from the start
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
I spit you out
You wanted my fire
You got the burn-out
[Bridge]
I was your rescue
I was your room
You were the matchstick
I was the fuel
Now I’m the teeth marks
Now I’m the noise
I found my pulse in
All this destroyed
[Breakdown]
Say my name now
Say it clean
I ain’t your medicine
I ain’t your dream
Black tongue, bad luck
Cut me loose
I turned your poison
Into proof
[Final Chorus]
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
Venom in my heart (venom in my heart)
You loved like a blade
Right from the start
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
I spit you out
You wanted my fire
You got the burn-out
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
I’m still standing here
You came like a storm
I turned it clear
Venom in my mouth (venom in my mouth)
Watch me rise up
You wanted my soul
Now I want enough
