Venom in My Veins

[Verse 1]
Cold air
Cheap perfume
Laughing like nothing’s wrong
But my hands still shake
Red cup
Black shoes
Your name on my tongue
Like it’s tied to a stake
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my veins when I see you (see you)
Pain doing pirouettes under these blue lights
I’m outside my body
Still I’m right here
Dancing with the hurt
Dancing with the hurt tonight
[Verse 2]
You spin
I stall
Your shadow keeps stepping
Exactly where I stand
You smile
I fall
Every small touch
Like it’s branded on my hand
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my veins when I see you (oh, it burns)
Pain doing pirouettes under these blue lights
I’m outside my body
Still I’m right here
Dancing with the hurt
Dancing with the hurt tonight
[Bridge]
Who are we
When the smoke clears
When the song ends
And you’re not near
I keep moving
So I don’t break
Every slow turn
One more ache (yeah)
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my veins when I see you
Pain doing pirouettes under these blue lights
I’m outside my body
But I’m right here
Dancing with the hurt
Dancing with the hurt tonight

Haunting alt-pop with dark club energy: pulsing sub-bass, sharp trap hats, and eerie vocal chops. Verses are hushed and intimate over sparse synth stabs; chorus slams in with distorted pads, wide reverb, and stacked female vocals. Bridge strips back to a single plucked synth and whispered ad-libs before the final hook rises with extra harmonies and a stuttering delay throw on the last line.
