Come Down Slow

(Glitchy synths pulsing under breathy whispers voice layered like smoke)

Slow... slow...

Venna... Venom...

I know you're bad for me — but I want it that way...

Velvet heat under motel sheets

Your name carved between my teeth

Cigarette smoke on your fingertips

One little taste... and I can't resist

You leave me wrecked, always half-alive

Every lie laced with cyanide

If this is love, then I wanna drown

Pull me under — don't let me out

You're in my bloodstream, velvet high

Tell me pretty lies — I'll close my eyes

I'm falling faster than you can go

Don't break me quick...

Come down slow

Come down slow — I wanna feel it burn

Body on body — lessons I'll never learn

You're the kind of danger I can't outrun

You taste like heaven... but you're not the one

Come down slow — I wanna feel the ache

Kiss me like a sin you're dying to make

If you're gonna break me, break me gold

Come down slow... come down slow

Slow... slow...

Venna... Venom...

You ruin me better when you take your time...

Moonlight flickers through the broken blinds

Your hands map out where I lose my mind

I know your name's written in red flags

But I'll let you haunt me if you promise you'll come back

You're a loaded gun, I'll take the shot

Pull the trigger — give me all you've got

I'll bleed you out just to feel alive

Poison on my tongue, but I still survive

You're in my bloodstream, velvet high

Tell me pretty lies — I'll close my eyes

I'm falling faster than you can go

Don't break me quick...

Come down slow

Come down slow — I wanna feel it burn

Body on body — lessons I'll never learn

You're the kind of danger I can't outrun

You taste like heaven... but you're not the one

Come down slow — I wanna feel the ache

Kiss me like a sin you're dying to make

If you're gonna break me, break me gold

Come down slow... come down slow

You could have me forever if you just take your time

Carve your name in my heart — I won't even mind

You're the wreck I'm begging for every night

Tear me apart...

But make it divine

Come down slow — I wanna feel it burn

Body on body — lessons I'll never learn

You're the kind of danger I can't outrun

You taste like heaven... but you're not the one

Come down slow — leave me in your smoke

Let me be the secret you'll never choke

If you're gonna kill me, make it beautiful

Come down slow... come down slow...

Slow... slow...

Venna... Venom...

I always let you in...
