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.
