Poison in the Sweet Talk
Verse 1
You smile like you’re handing out halos for free,
Silver-tongued sinner wrapped in luxury.
Every little promise tastes like summer rain,
Till the sugar hits my bloodstream like a loaded vein.
You tell me I’m different, tell me I’m rare,
Say all the right things just to keep me there.
Your hands stay clean while the damage spreads,
Planting pretty flowers in a field of dead.
Pre-Chorus
You’re a velvet knife, you’re a slow goodbye,
A masterpiece of beautiful lies.
Chorus
There’s poison in the sweet talk,
Honey on your lips, venom in your heartbeat.
You kiss like forever, leave me incomplete.
Every “I love you” comes with hidden teeth,
Every soft whisper steals another piece of me.
There’s poison in the sweet talk…
And I keep drinking like it tastes like peace.
Verse 2
You wear your charm like a tailored suit,
Never raise your voice, just bend the truth.
Paint me in colors that don’t exist,
Then disappear inside your own eclipse.
You’re the calm before the wrecking ball,
The safest place before the hardest fall.
You don’t need chains when words can bind;
The deepest prisons live inside the mind.
Pre-Chorus
You’re a lullaby before the fire,
Every desire feeding your desire.
Chorus
There’s poison in the sweet talk,
Honey on your lips, venom in your heartbeat.
You kiss like forever, leave me incomplete.
Every “I love you” comes with hidden teeth,
Every soft whisper steals another piece of me.
There’s poison in the sweet talk…
And I keep drinking like it tastes like peace.
Bridge
I memorized your favorite lines,
The script, the smile, the alibis.
Now I hear the echo crystal clear—
Love shouldn’t sound this much like fear.
You can keep your golden mouth,
Your paper crown, your burning house.
The antidote was walking out,
Even if it hurts me now.
Final Chorus
There’s poison in the sweet talk,
No more sipping from your silver cup.
Your paradise was dressed up as a setup.
You almost made a ghost of me,
But I found my pulse beneath the debris.
There’s poison in the sweet talk…
Now your words don’t taste like anything.
Outro
The sweetest things can kill you slow…
Now everybody knows.
