Sweet Venom

You move like a shadow in the midnight flame
Whisper my secrets, calling my name
Every touch is a loaded breath
Tastes like heaven, burns like death

Your eyes hold fire I can’t ignore
Every step leaves me wanting more
Danger wrapped in velvet gloves
Kiss me once and call it love

I know I should run, but I’m caught in the spell
A beautiful story I’m ready to tell

Your love is venom in my veins
Sweet and cruel, it heals and pains
Every heartbeat’s overthrown
I’m yours completely, flesh and bone
If this is fate, I won’t pretend
I won’t fight it, won’t determine the end
Even if it’s my last breath
I’ll choose your love over death

You pull me closer to the edge
Promise forever, stand on the ledge
Every warning fades to black
No safe way forward, no turning back

We’re dancing on a wire so thin
Sin on our lips, fire within
If falling’s wrong, I won’t repent
I was born for this descent

The higher we climb, the harder we fall
But I hear your voice above it all

Your love is venom in my veins
Sweet and cruel, it heals and pains
Every heartbeat’s overthrown
I’m yours completely, flesh and bone
If this is fate, I won’t pretend
I won’t determine how it ends
Even if it’s my last breath
I’ll choose your love over death

Maybe we’re chaos, maybe we’re cursed
Quenching a fire that only gets worse
But I’d rather drown in your deep blue eyes
Than live forever in safe disguise

Your love is venom in my veins
Breaking chains, igniting flames
No escape and no defense
I surrender to the consequence
Let the world call it madness, sin
I’ll let your poison pull me in
If this is life beneath your breath
I’ll love you past the line of death.
