[Verse 1]
You came in black lace,
through the door like smoke
Bite marks on your mouth,
and a grin that spoke
My heart hit the floor,
like a drumhead crack
You said, “Come closer, boy”
and I never came back
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the moon looks thin
over broken glass
Your eyes say danger
and I want it fast
One kiss, one curse
and the hunger starts
You wrap that venom
around my heart
[Chorus]
Black rose venom
Pull me in, pull me in
Black rose venom
I want that kiss again
Black rose venom
Taste the night, make me bleed
Black rose venom
You’re the poison I need
[Verse 2]
In the churchyard glow,
we were laughing loud
Boots in the wet mud,
fire in the crowd
Your hands like a blade,
my skin like a drum
You traced my name slow,
then you told me, “Run”
[Pre-Chorus]
But I stayed right there
in the graveyard air
You tasted my fear
like a prayer gone bare
One more touch
and the chain came loose
I wore your shadow
like a noose
[Chorus]
Black rose venom
Pull me in, pull me in
Black rose venom
I want that kiss again
Black rose venom
Taste the night, make me bleed
Black rose venom
You’re the poison I need
[Bridge]
If I burn tonight,
let the ashes sing
If I lose my soul,
let the bells still ring
You’re my curse, my crown,
my sweet decay
Hold me close now
and drain me away
[Chorus]
Black rose venom
Pull me in, pull me in
Black rose venom
I want that kiss again
Black rose venom
Taste the night, make me bleed
Black rose venom
You’re the poison I need
[Outro]
(Black rose venom)
Under Halloween sky
(Black rose venom)
I don’t want goodbye
(Black rose venom)
Take me under your spell
(Black rose venom)
I’ll love you through hell
