[Intro – dark alternative rock, slow cinematic guitar, distant reverb, male voice soft and intimate]
Every time I think, the trauma starts
Every time I see a heart, mine falls apart
Your poison’s already in my blood
When I turn on the screen, I feel the pain
Just one picture of you drives me insane
What is this feeling inside?
[Verse 1 – gritty electric guitars, steady drums, low male vocal, dramatic tone]
Sometimes I think of what we could’ve been
If that day we didn’t walk away again
If we had made things right
Every kiss of yours was venom
Every scratch was like a blade
Carving your name on my skin
[Pre-Chorus – tension rising, drums building, distorted guitar swell]
I tried to run, but I stayed instead
Your voice still echoing in my head
[Chorus – energetic glam/garage rock, sharp guitars, powerful drums, dramatic male vocal]
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
YOU GOT INSIDE MY HEAD
(INSIDE MY HEAD)
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
With your velvet poison
With your poison
[Verse 2 – gritty rhythm guitars, driving beat, emotional vocal]
Lying in bed, I feel the trauma
In this room, I still smell your aura
And it’s driving me insane
What we had was never healthy
All the blood we left behind
I still wear your scars on me
[Pre-Chorus – drums tighten, guitar tension, voice more desperate]
I know it hurts, I know it’s wrong
But your shadow pulls me along
[Chorus – full band, theatrical delivery, aggressive guitars]
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
YOU GOT INSIDE MY HEAD
(INSIDE MY HEAD)
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
With your velvet poison
With your poison
[Bridge – cinematic break, slow heavy guitars, dramatic vocal, emotional peak]
Still staring at the screen at night
Waiting for your name to light
I’m still going crazy
I miss you in the dark
I see you in the shadows
Your poison running through my veins
I feel it in my blood
[Build-up – drums rising, distorted guitars swelling, vocal intensity increasing]
You’re still inside my head…
[Final Chorus – big theatrical glam rock energy, layered guitars, powerful male vocal]
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
YOU GOT INSIDE MY HEAD
(INSIDE MY HEAD)
AND THAT’S HOW IT GOES
(YOU POISONED ME)
With your velvet poison
With your poison
(With your poison…)
[Outro – fading distorted guitar, slow cinematic ending, echoing
