Poison Game

(Breathy whispers, ticking clock synth)

Tick-tick-tick...

Heart on fire, hands like sin...

Touch me once — I'll let you in...

---

Eyes like knives, cutting me deep...

You smile slow, playing for keeps...

Red lights dripping down my spine —

You're bad for me... but I want you twice.

(Background Ad-Libs)

Ooh, you're wicked...

Don't stop, I like it...

---

I should run, but I never do...

You taste like hell, but I'm drunk on you...

Call it love, call it cruel —

I'll play the fool... I'll play the fool...

---

It's a poison game —

You pull, I break...

You lie, I crave...

Can't quit, can't stay...

(Wicked, wicked...)

You're bad, I'm worse —

I'll beg, you'll burn...

We lose, but I'll never learn...

---

Tick-tick-tick... don't run, don't run...

(Wicked, wicked...)

Tick-tick-tick... you're mine, you're mine...

One touch, you're lost inside...

---

Velvet hands wrapped around my neck...

You're the secret I won't confess...

Devil grin under neon lights —

You'll wreck me slow, but I'll stay all night.

(Background Ad-Libs)

Ooh, you're poison...

I want it... I want it...

---

I should run, but I never do...

You're a car crash dressed in black and blue...

I say no, but you pull me through...

I'm breaking — and you're loving every bruise...

---

It's a poison game —

You pull, I break...

You lie, I crave...

Can't quit, can't stay...

(Wicked, wicked...)

You're bad, I'm worse —

I'll beg, you'll burn...

We lose, but I'll never learn...

---

(Beat drops out — just breathy vocals + ticking sounds)

Hands on me like a warning...

Lips on mine like a curse...

If I'm drowning, I'm not sorry...

If you kill me —

Make it hurt.

---

It's a poison game —

You pull, I break...

You lie, I crave...

Can't quit, can't stay...

(Wicked, wicked...)

You're bad, I'm worse —

I'll beg, you'll burn...

We lose, but I'll never learn...

---

Tick-tick-tick... don't run, don't run...

(Wicked, wicked...)

Tick-tick-tick... you're mine, you're mine...

I'll lose again...

Every time.
