The Love That Learned To Bite by Dead_But_Dreaming - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered/static]

I kissed the knife you kept behind your teeth…

Now watch me sharpen.

⸻

[Verse 1 — low groove, restrained screams]

You wore devotion like a loaded gun

Pressed to my chest just to feel me run

Sweet cyanide in a porcelain grin

Said love me forever while carving my skin

You fed me heaven through a serpent’s tongue

Turned my prayers into the smoke in your lungs

I bled myself trying to keep you alive

But monsters don’t love…

They survive.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus — rising cleans]

Every scar you left became a warning sign

Every lie you spoke became a war in mine—

⸻

[Chorus — huge, melodic]

You were the love that learned to bite

A rose with venom in the thorns at night

You made a martyr of the heart I gave

Then taught the dead in me to misbehave

Now I kiss back with sharpened spite

I became the dark that feared your light

If loving you was losing every part of me—

Then watch what your apocalypse made out of me.

⸻

[Verse 2 — heavier]

You called it passion, I called it disease

A noose dressed up in silver promises

You pulled my halo down around my throat

And laughed while every sacred thing I wrote… choked.

I used to beg beneath your burning heel

Now I let revenge teach me how to feel

You made me feral, darling own your art—

You built a wolf

From a broken heart.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]

Every scar you left became a warning sign

Every lie you spoke became a war in mine—

⸻

[Chorus]

You were the love that learned to bite

A rose with venom in the thorns at night

You made a martyr of the heart I gave

Then taught the dead in me to misbehave

Now I kiss back with sharpened spite

I became the dark that feared your light

If loving you was losing every part of me—

Then watch what your apocalypse made out of me.

⸻

[Bridge — half-time / clean to scream build]

I tried to save you…

But you fed on mercy

I tried to hold you…

But you worshipped hurting

(beat drops)

So I buried the saint…

And let the beast speak—

⸻

[Breakdown — savage]

LOVE—

SHOULD—

NEVER—

TASTE LIKE WAR.

You made me your victim—

Now choke on the predator.

BLEGH

Rip the halo off.

Let heaven watch me hunt.

⸻

[Final Chorus — bigger, layered harmonies]

You were the love that learned to bite

But I survived your poison every night

You tried to turn my soul into a grave

Instead you taught the dead in me to rage

Now I kiss back with sharpened spite

I am the dark devouring your light

If loving you was losing every part of me—

Then this monster is your masterpiece.

⸻

[Outro — ambient]

You taught love how to bite…

I taught it how to kill.
