[Intro – whispered, airy vocal | dark pad, distant reverb, slow heartbeat kick]
You said forever with venom on your tongue
Soft like velvet, but you held the gun
I tasted danger every time we kissed
Yeah I knew the fire… but I still jumped in
[Verse 1 – minimal trap beat, muted 808s, dark plucks]
You text at midnight like you miss my soul
But you only miss control
Every promise had a hidden blade
Every “love you” was a masquerade
You pull me closer just to watch me break
Say my name like a sweet mistake
Yeah I knew the devil in your eyes
But your chaos felt like paradise
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, filtered synth, building snare roll]
Every red flag looked like roses in the dark
Every warning sounded like a spark
I should run but I’m addicted to the flame
Yeah you poison me and call it love again
[Chorus – big dark pop hook, full 808s, wide synths, catchy topline]
You’re velvet venom in my veins tonight
Sweet disaster dressed in neon light
Say you love me while you twist the knife
Baby you’re my favorite bad advice
Yeah we burn, yeah we crash, yeah we fall again
Toxic hearts but we pretend
I know you’re trouble, I can’t say goodbye
Velvet venom… you’re my kryptonite
[Post-Chorus – trap drop, heavy 808 glide, vocal chops]
Poison love, poison love
But I keep drinking
Poison love, poison love
Got my heart sinking
[Verse 2 – darker tone, half-time beat, distorted bass]
You kiss my scars like you didn’t make them
Say I’m crazy when I try to escape it
You build a cage out of sweet affection
Then blame me for the wreckage
Your halo flickers when the lights go low
Truth leaks out but you’ll never show
Yeah you hold my heart like a loaded gun
Pull the trigger just to watch me run
[Pre-Chorus – tension rebuild, atmospheric pads]
Every goodbye pulls me back again
Like a ghost underneath my skin
I swear this time I’ll break the chain
But your touch pulls me into the rain
[Chorus – full energy, stacked vocals]
You’re velvet venom in my veins tonight
Sweet disaster dressed in neon light
Say you love me while you twist the knife
Baby you’re my favorite bad advice
Yeah we burn, yeah we crash, yeah we fall again
Toxic hearts but we pretend
I know you’re trouble, I can’t say goodbye
Velvet venom… you’re my kryptonite
[Bridge – stripped piano + echo vocal, emotional peak]
Maybe love shouldn’t hurt like this
Maybe fire shouldn’t feel like bliss
But every time I try to leave your side
Your shadow pulls me back inside
[Final Chorus – biggest drop, layered vocals, cinematic synths]
You’re velvet venom in my veins tonight
Sweet disaster dressed in neon light
Say you love me while you twist the knife
Baby you’re my favorite bad advice
Yeah we burn, yeah we crash, yeah we fall again
Broken hearts that never mend
I know you’re poison but I still comply
Velvet venom… till the day I die
[Outro – fading pads, heartbeat kick slowing]
Velvet venom…
Still in my veins
