Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Brown skin sunrise Salt on your collarbone You say my real name Like you carved it in stone Palm trees leaning Listening in Your laugh tastes sweet Your gaze feels thin [Pre-Chorus] You trace my scars Like they’re coastlines on a map Say you love the way I burn But you never ask what lit the match [Chorus] Venom in the islands Dripping from your tongue so sweet Honey on the violence Hiding in the sand and sea You kiss like a promise You cut like coral on my feet Venom in the islands Baby You’re the poison I repeat [Verse 2] Rum on your breath Storm in your eyes You talk about forever While you practice goodbye Necklace of seashells Tight round my throat You say it’s protection Feels more like a rope [Pre-Chorus] You pull me under Say the water sets me free But every time I catch my breath You take a little more of me [Chorus] Venom in the islands Dripping from your tongue so sweet Honey on the violence Hiding in the sand and sea You kiss like a promise You cut like coral on my feet Venom in the islands Baby You’re the poison I repeat [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Stay Say it slow Say it slow Your hands High tide Undertow I know Every edge Every lie Still I taste you Like I never learned to die [Chorus]

Moody Afro-pop bounce with glossy synth plucks and deep sub bass. Male vocals, close and intimate in the verses, opening into airy, stacked harmonies on the hook. Light tropical percussion and rim-clicks drive the groove; chorus widens with bright pads and a simple, singable top-line. Occasional pitched-down ad-libs add a slightly dangerous, seductive edge.
