Honey On The Knife

[Verse 1]
You came in like a bad idea
Leather grin and a crooked vow
Red flag folded in your back pocket
I still said
"kiss me now"
You tasted like the edge of trouble
Sugar on a shattered glass
Every warning on your mouth
Just made me want it fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hands on my throat
But I leaned in closer
I knew what you wrote
In the fine print
Over and over
[Chorus]
You're honey on the knife
Sweet death on my tongue
I bleed a little brighter
Every time we come undone
If loving you is poison
I drink to feel alive
I know you’ll be the end of me
But God
I love the bite
Honey on the knife
[Verse 2]
We argue in the parking lot
Laugh while all the neighbors stare
You say I'm your favorite bad decision
I wear that like it's couture
I swear
You carve your name into my bedroom mirror
Lipstick
Shaking in your fist
Saying
"baby
We’re a car crash"
Then you pull me in to kiss
[Pre-Chorus]
Your lies in my ear
And I turn the volume higher
I’m dancing in fear
On a fuse
On a live wire
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I keep your venom in my veins
Like a souvenir I can't return
Call it love
Call it a slow burn
But it’s my turn
My turn to learn
[full voice
Distorted] If you’re the toxin
I’m the taste
We wrap around each other’s waste
Two black hearts in a red dress night
Dying just to feel this right
[Chorus]

rock, Dark pop-rock with female vocals, mid-tempo groove. Crunchy guitars chug in the verses under tight, dry drums and a stalking bass line; pre-chorus strips back to toms and a single reverb-y lead line. Chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, wide power chords, and a slightly overdriven vocal riding the edge. Bridge drops to half-time with distant echoes, then slams back in with a final, shout-along hook., pop rock
