TOXIC KING

⸻

(female breathy harmonies, soft hums, heavy reverb)

mm…

ahh…

(you feel this already…)

I don’t mean to fuck it up every time…

I just don’t know how to love soft.

⸻

I don’t do love, I do moments

I don’t say much, I just show it

You want my heart, I loan it

Soon as it ache, I ghost it

Too many nights I been numb

Too many cups, still sober

You say I’m hard to trust

But you still pullin’ me closer

I don’t explain when I move

I don’t reply when I’m gone

You say I’m playin’ it loose

But you still callin’ my phone

(female hums swell quietly under last lines)

⸻

(female breathy harmonies tucked under lead, panned L/R)

I’m a toxic king, yeah I know it (mm)

Love me once and you get addicted (ahh)

Say you done, but you still foldin’

Soon as I text, you forget your limits

I’m a toxic king, no savin’ (yeah)

Heart too cold but you crave it

You don’t love me, you just need it

Say you hate me, but you stayin’

⸻

(beat pulls back slightly, harmonies linger)

Truth is, I been hurt too

I just learned how to mask it

If I let you see the real me

You might leave, I can’t chance it

You want peace, I want silence

You want plans, I want tonight

I don’t do well with expectations

I do better when the lights low

I know I fuck you up emotionally

But you still say I feel like home

I don’t know how to give you safety

When I been livin’ on my own

⸻

(drums drop, bass + female harmonies only)

mm… don’t go…

ahh… stay close…

(soft breath, no words)

⸻

(harmonies louder but still blended)

I’m a toxic king, I admit it (mm)

Still you run back every minute (ahh)

Say you tired of the distance

But you addicted to the tension

I’m a toxic king, no crown

Just scars I don’t show now

If I love you, it’s flawed

But it’s real in my own way now

⸻

(breathy hums, layered, drifting out)

mm…

ahh…

(toxic king…)

(beat fades clean)
