[Verse 1 — melancholy, ambient]
Pulled into the spiral where our shadows dance,
Your voice cuts through my armor, puts my heart in a trance.
There’s a war inside my chest—between the ache and the desire,
I keep mistaking all your toxins for a holy kind of fire.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — emotional rise]
And still somehow I stay alive,
Breathing through the fractures of your lies.
Reaching for the part of me that’s true—
Even when I lose myself in you.
⸻
[Chorus — soaring melancholy]
‘Cause it’s you… the venom and the remedy,
Tearing me apart, but it feels like destiny.
A toxic touch I can’t undo—
But I still find the truth in you.
⸻
[Drop — punchy metalcore riff]
(Tight, syncopated chugs. Airy synth above. Drums slam into halftime.)
“Just let me feel something—anything.” (distant scream)
⸻
[Bridge — vulnerable + tension]
I’m screaming in the quiet where my doubts reside,
Trying to break the cycle I keep running to hide.
Your chaos wraps around me, but I still breathe—
Healing through the hurt you never see.
⸻
[Powerpop Chorus — bright but still tragic]
‘Cause it’s you… in the madness and the calm,
Even when it’s killing me, you still feel like home somehow.
In your storm, I lose and find my place—
Your chaos and comfort, tangled in grace.
⸻
[Outro — cinematic, soft fade]
Lost in the aftershock, but I won’t fall,
Your toxic love still echoes through it all.
It’s because of you, I learn to stay—
Living with the poison… day by day.
[Tempo and music slow]
[Final Verse — slowed, fragile, echoing]
In the quiet after everything… when the noise fades out,
I feel the weight of every truth I tried to live without.
If love is just a lesson carved in scars we can’t erase,
Then you’re the mark that lingers still, the ghost I learn to face.
I whisper to the silence, hoping it remembers me—
The parts I lost to keep you close, the parts I set free.
And though the poison settles deeper than I planned,
I’m learning how to breathe again…
Learning how to stand.
