Venom In The Bath

[Verse 1]
Steam on the mirror
Red on the rim
You pour the venom in the bath
Say “let it cleanse your sins”
You smile so gentle
While I count every breath
You call it healing
I just taste regret
[Chorus]
Venom in the bath
You laugh (ouchie)
Say you only hurt me ’cause you care
Suffer while you’re tracing out my scars (ouchie)
Like a little art project you wear
Venom in the bath
You laugh (ouchie)
Tell me that I’m lucky you were there
Suffer
Suffer
Suffer in your hands
Till I disappear into the air
[Verse 2]
Tiles getting colder
Water running thin
You say
“pain is progress”
Then you push me back again
My fingers wrinkle
Like years I’ll never get back
You stir the poison
Call it our pact
[Chorus]
Venom in the bath
You laugh (ouchie)
Say you only hurt me ’cause you care
Suffer while you’re tracing out my scars (ouchie)
Like a little art project you wear
Venom in the bath
You laugh (ouchie)
Tell me that I’m lucky you were there
Suffer
Suffer
Suffer in your hands
Till I disappear into the air

Dark alt-pop with tense synth pulses, detuned bells, and a deep, sparse kick. Verses stay close and whispered; chorus blooms with distorted backing vocals and a swelling sub-bass pad. Occasional glitchy vocal chops stab between lines, ending on a chilling, echo-drenched hook.
