[Verse 1]
It crawls where it hurts
Picks at the scars I hide
Repeats the worst things first
Till they echo in my mind
“You’re nothing
Go prove me right”
Breath on my neck
Too close
Poison whispers all night
Like it’s the one that knows
[Chorus]
Poison whispers
In my ear
Saying every quiet fear
But I won’t dance the way it wants tonight
It names me by every shame
Tries to lock me in that name
I spin out of its grip
I step into the light
Poison whispers
Lose your bite
[Verse 2]
It plays back my bad days
Freeze-frames every wrong
Tries to sign my soul with blame
Turn my heartbeat into a song
But I’m humming a new tune (hey)
Blue glow on the floor
Every step
I break its gloom
Leave its shadow at the door
[Chorus]
Poison whispers
In my ear
Saying every quiet fear
But I won’t dance the way it wants tonight
It names me by every shame
Tries to lock me in that name
I spin out of its grip
I step into the light
Poison whispers
Lose your bite
[Bridge]
Round and round
Same cruel line
I close my eyes
Cut that tie
Slow
Slow turn
Then I slide
I feel that burn
But I stay alive (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Poison whispers
In my ear
Saying every quiet fear
But I won’t dance the way it wants tonight
It names me by every shame
Tries to lock me in that name
I spin out of its grip
I step into the light
Poison whispers
Lose your bite (lose your bite)
Poison whispers
Lose your bite
