Poison in Lace

[Intro – breathy vocals, slow synths]
“Don’t blame me for your weakness…”
“You kissed the match — I just watched it burn.”

[Verse 1]
(Sultry, detached — she’s not chasing, she’s stating facts.)

I never said I’d love you right.  
Never dressed this sin in white.  
You walked in, thought you had control,  
Now you’re just another name I stole.

I wear secrets on my skin,  
Silk and smoke, pull you in.  
Call me cruel, call me fate —  
But baby, I warned you, I’m poison in lace.

[Pre-Chorus]
(Tension rise — vocals float then snap)

You say I haunt you in your sleep,  
That my kiss cuts way too deep...  
But don’t pretend you didn’t beg,  
To worship at the edge.

[Chorus]
(Big and layered — velvet harmonies + sharp top-line)

I'm poison in lace,  
A prayer in the dark you can't erase.  
Sweet like a lie that you wanna believe,  
Burn like a truth you can't retrieve.

You call it love — I call it play.  
You chase the thrill, then curse my name.  
But baby, you knew my taste...  
I'm poison in lace.

[Verse 2]
(Add rhythm, confidence building)

You say I broke you — cute excuse.  
But I was art, and you just used.  
Golden boy, so quick to fall,  
You built a cage and blamed the doll.

You liked me reckless, mouth on fire,  
Liked the way I sparked desire.  
Now you cry and call it pain —  
But darling, that’s the price of my name.

[Pre-Chorus – variation]
(She’s leaning in now)

You wanted wild, you wanted real,  
Now you’re choking on the deal.  
Say I wrecked you — own the flame,  
I never asked to play your game.

[Chorus – repeat, with more layered harmonies]

I'm poison in lace,  
A prayer in the dark you can't erase.  
Sweet like a lie that you wanna believe,  
Burn like a truth you can't retrieve.

You call it love — I call it play.  
You chase the thrill, then curse my name.  
But baby, you knew my taste...  
I'm poison in lace.

[Bridge – Whispered vocals, dramatic instrumental drop]

So sip slow, sugar.  
You know I stain.  
You knew I’d twist you,  
And you'd still come again.

(Hold long reverb on “again…” then drop back into chorus.)

[Final Chorus – full power, more ad-libs + echo FX]

I'm poison in lace…  
And you begged for the pain.  
Say my name, say my name...  
Now you’re never the same.

Outro – Spoken

“You wanted dirty, baby. I just gave you Shirley.”
