Venom in the Rain

[Verse 1]
You pulled up in that rusted car
Same old cologne
Same old scar
Said you’d changed
Said you’d stayed
Every word tasted fake on my tongue
Ashtray on the windowsill
Coffee gone cold
Time standing still
You laugh soft
But your eyes
Keep looking for the door
Like always
[Chorus]
You’re venom in the rain
Dripping down my face again
I hate you
I love you
It’s all the same
You’re poison in my veins
I drink you when I’m trying to change
I hate you
I love you
Venom in the rain
[Verse 2]
You ask if someone took your place
I shrug it off
Dodge your gaze
Truth is I still check my phone
For a number that I blocked last May (yeah)
You say you miss my crooked teeth
I say I miss how you’d let me sleep
On your chest
Then leave before the morning
[Chorus]
You’re venom in the rain
Dripping down my face again
I hate you
I love you
It’s all the same
You’re poison in my veins
I drink you when I’m trying to change
I hate you
I love you
Venom in the rain
[Bridge]
You’re at my door
I’m at my limit
You say “just talk”
I still let you in (why?)
We sit too close
Like we’re still us
My heart spits rust
But it’s still giving in (giving in)
[Chorus]
You’re venom in the rain
Dripping down my face again
I hate you
I love you
It’s all the same
You’re poison in my veins
I drink you when I’m trying to change
I hate you
I love you
Venom in the rain

Moody lo-fi pop with female vocals, dusty drums and detuned electric piano. Intimate close-mic verses over filtered chords; chorus blooms with wide pads, doubled topline, and soft tape-saturated bass. Subtle vinyl crackle, distant vocal chops, and a late-song drop to near-silence before the final hook hits warm and loud., lo-fi
