Slow Poison

Verse 1

You taste sweet in the silence,

Like fire dressed in gold.

Every touch feels timeless,

But you’re colder than the cold.

I let you in my bloodstream,

Now you whisper through my veins,

A cure that turned to fever,

A comfort laced with chains.

Chorus

You’re my slow poison, creeping underneath,

A gentle killer stealing every breath from me.

I keep drinking, though I know the cost—

You give me life, then take it all.

Verse 2

Your glow is just a weapon,

A light that blinds my eyes.

You promise me forever,

But you’re built on fragile lies.

Every high gets shorter,

Every crash cuts deep.

I’m awake inside the nightmare

That you planted in my sleep.

Chorus

You’re my slow poison, creeping underneath,

A gentle killer stealing every breath from me.

I keep drinking, though I know the cost—

You give me life, then take it all.

Bridge

I see the ruins in the mirror,

Skin and soul both wearing thin.

But even if it kills me,

I’ll let you back in.

Chorus

You’re my slow poison, crawling endlessly,

A sweet addiction tearing out the heart of me.

I can’t escape you, can’t let go—

You’re the drug I’ll never own.
