Venom in the Bath

Rose tattoos on my wrist

Pretty

But they still twist

Water running

Pink and clean

You walk in like gasoline

You say my name

Like it’s sugar on your tongue

I taste the blame

Every time I let you run

Steam on the mirror

I can’t see who I am

Tell me

Are you poison

Or the cure in my hands?

You put your thorns in me

While I’m sinking in the bath (oh-oh)

Sweet little lies on your lips

Dripping slow like venom

Black

I keep on holding you

Even when my veins turn glass

Thorns in my heart

Venom in my bath

Petals on the surface

Red

Floating where I rest my head

You say

“Baby

Just relax”

But your touch is full of cracks

You call it love

But it stings under my skin

You pull me close

And the room starts to spin

Bubbles breaking

Like the promise that you made

Tell me

Are you staying

Or just watching me fade?

You put your thorns in me

While I’m sinking in the bath (yeah-yeah)

Sweet little lies on your lips

Dripping slow like venom

Black

I keep on holding you

Even when my veins turn glass

Thorns in my heart

Venom in my bath

Maybe I like it

Burning when we touch (ooh)

Maybe I’m addicted

To never being enough

If love is a toxin

I drank every drop you had

Smiling as it hurts

Calling all this damage “us”

You put your thorns in me

While I’m sinking in the bath

Sweet little lies on your lips

Dripping slow like venom

Black (venom, black)

I keep on holding you

Even when my veins turn glass

Thorns in my heart

Venom in my bath (in my bath)

Venom in my bath
