Verse 1
Sunset bleeding on a nowhere town
Dust on my boots, whiskey going down
You said forever, now it’s just a bluff
Love turned bitter, and bitter’s rough
There’s a cold, sharp pain where your memory sits
Like a rusty blade that never quits
Every word you said was smooth as a laugh
Now I’m drowning in a poison bath
Chorus
I’m soaking in a venom bath of broken dreams and truth
Every little lie you told is sinking in like proof
You took a clean heart, watched it crack in half
Now I’m knee-deep in this venom bath
It’s a slow, deep cut, yeah it’s a cruel aftermath
Of loving you and your venom bath
Verse 2
Front porch light flickers in the dark
Like the faded ember of a dying spark
You left your ring by the kitchen sink
Guess forever lasted less than we think
Neighbors say I oughta let it go
But small-town scars still tend to show
This house still hums your photograph
And echoes off that empty bath
Chorus
I’m soaking in a venom bath of broken dreams and truth
Every little lie you told is sinking in like proof
You took a clean heart, watched it crack in half
Now I’m knee-deep in this venom bath
It’s a slow, deep cut, yeah it’s a cruel aftermath
Of loving you and your venom bath
Bridge
I suffer every midnight hour
Your memory’s got a wicked power
Like sweet perfume with a toxic math
Turns every blessing to a wrath
I tried to wash these wounds in rain
But poison runs too deep in the vein
Love ain’t always roses and laughs
Sometimes it’s venom in the bath
Final Chorus
Yeah I’m rising from this venom bath
From the broken glass and the aftermath
That cut runs deep but it won’t last
I won’t suffer from your past
I’ll let that river carry the wrath
And leave behind your venom bath
Outro
Sun’s coming up on this nowhere town
I set that whiskey bottle down
Your ghost can haunt some other path
I’m done drowning in your venom bath.
