[Verse 1]
Water runnin’
ochre ring around the tub
Soap scum stories
of the dirt I never scrubbed
Venom in the bath
steam rising like a curse
Try to wash the past
but it clings inside my nerves
Bandage on my wrist
from the times I cut my ties
Bled out every friend
who kept sellin’ me their lies
Used to suffer in the shadows
just to keep ’em satisfied
Now the mirror say my name
and it’s the only one that rides
[Chorus]
Venom in the bath
let it drip, let it burn
All this poison in my path
now it’s fuel when I turn
Yeah, they want me just to suffer
but I learned from every scar
Took the blade, made it my brother
cut a doorway through the dark
Venom in the bath
watch it circle, watch it foam
If the water turn to ochre
I still call this place my home
Every hurt, every cut
every night I couldn’t sleep
Now it pulses with the rhythm
of these trap-rap beats (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Rust stains on the chrome
like the bloodstains on my past
Tried to drown the doubts
but they floated back at last
Hip hop in my headphones
keep the demons out my head
Every bar another breath
every rhyme another step
They said “play nice”
while they lined up all the knives
Left me suffer in the silence
while they broadcast all my crimes
But I’ve been talkin’ to the tiles
like they jury in the room
If the bathwater’s a grave
then I’m rappin’ from the tomb (hey)
[Chorus]
Venom in the bath
let it drip, let it burn
All this poison in my path
now it’s fuel when I turn
Yeah, they want me just to suffer
but I learned from every scar
Took the blade, made it my brother
cut a doorway through the dark
Venom in the bath
watch it circle, watch it foam
If the water turn to ochre
I still call this place my home
Every hurt, every cut
every night I couldn’t sleep
Now it pulses with the rhythm
of these trap-rap beats (trap-rap beats)
