Sweet Like Poison

[Verse 1]
You pull up late
Eyes already saying trouble
Say my name
Like you’re chewing on the word
Every time I swear
I’m walking out your doorway
You kiss my throat
And I forget what I deserve
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like poison
Burning while you bless my veins
You break me open
I keep begging you the same
I know you’re toxic
Still I’m drowning in your touch
You take me higher
Just to twist me when I trust
[Verse 2]
You hate my friends
Tell me they don’t really know me
Turn off my phone
Then you’re asking who I text
You say “relax”
While you’re feeding all my worries
Then drag me close
Till my body can’t protest
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like poison
Burning while you bless my veins
You break me open
I keep begging you the same
I know you’re toxic
Still I’m drowning in your touch
You take me higher
Just to twist me when I trust
[Bridge]
In the dark you’re a prayer
In the light you’re a curse
Best I’ve ever tasted
And the very
Very worst
If loving you kills me
Then I’m dying by design
You ruin every boundary
But you rewrite my mind (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re sweet like poison
Burning while you bless my veins
You break me open
I keep begging you the same
I know you’re toxic
Still I’m drowning in your touch
You take me higher
Every wound feels like your love

Smoky contemporary R&B over dark, tense ambient pads; male vocals up close and intimate, with whispered doubles on key words. Minimal, deep kick and distant, filtered percussion under a pulsing sub. Verses stay shadowy and restrained; chorus widens with lush harmonies and a haunting synth lead that bends notes like a sob. Light reverb trails on ad-libs, slow swells and reverse textures between sections to keep the tension simmering., ambient, r&b, contemporary
