Venom in My Veins

[Verse 1]
You said forever through your teeth
Little poison on each word
I took every drop you gave
Now my chest just starts to burn
Bit my tongue to keep the peace
You kept cutting
Slow and clean
Now my hands shake in the dark
From the things I’ve really seen
[Chorus]
You put venom in my veins
I can feel it when it rains
Every memory still stains
Yeah
You hurt me
You hurt me
Broken pieces in my hands
All the damage that you planned
I still taste you on my glands
Yeah
You hurt me
You hurt me
[Verse 2]
Bathroom floor and twisted sheets
Salt and makeup on my face
Tried to scrub your name away
But it’s carved into this place
All these pictures turned to ash
All these “sorry”s turned to lies
You were gentle with the blade
While you hollowed out my sides
[Chorus]
You put venom in my veins
I can feel it when it rains
Every memory still stains
Yeah
You hurt me
You hurt me
Broken pieces in my hands
All the damage that you planned
I still taste you on my glands
Yeah
You hurt me
You hurt me
[Bridge]
Tears run thin
Heart runs dry
But I won’t let
This be my life
I’ll bleed you out
Drop by drop (drop by drop)
’Til your shadow
Finally stops
[Chorus]
You put venom in my veins
I can feel it when it rains
Every memory still stains
Yeah
You hurt me
You hurt me
Broken pieces in my hands
But they’re slipping through like sand
I’m still standing where I am
Yeah
You hurt me
(You hurt me)
You hurt me

Dark, moody trap ballad with male vocals; sparse piano and distant pads in the verses, sub-heavy drums and sharp hats dropping in for the chorus. Vocal sits close and intimate, doubling on key phrases, with whispered ad-libs tucked behind. Bridge strips to bass and vocal, then final chorus hits hardest with layered harmonies and a stretched-out outro reverb tail.
