[Verse 1]
Steam on the mirror
Mascara streaks
Black river down my face
Marble floor
Towel on the tiles
Half-dressed heart in your old band tee
Gold tap dripping like a clock
Phone screen lit with the fight we never finished
Lip cut
Taste a little iron
Say it’s “nothing” but it still keeps burning
[Chorus]
Venom in the bathtub
Stinging where you touched me
Every little ouchie
You swear I imagined
Venom in the bathtub
Running off my shoulders
You made the cut and walked off
I’m the one who suffers
[Verse 2]
Studio lights
Harsh white
You say “one more take” while my voice is shaking
Headphones tight like a halo
But the lyrics feel like handcuffs on my skin
Nail marks on my own thigh
Keeping quiet so the track sounds pretty
You call it “art
” I call it damage
Different words for the same old bruise
[Chorus]
