Poison in Lace

“Don’t blame me for your weakness…”

“You kissed the match — I just watched it burn.”

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.)

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.”
