Antifreeze Kiss

You pour your kindness in a paper cup

Smile like a saint while the engine starts up

I read the warning label under your tongue

A little too polished, a little too young

You call it mercy, I call it a dare

Sweet on the surface, poison in the air

You are so sweet

But so is antifreeze

Blue in the bottle, cold as a disease

You are so sweet

With your hands on my keys

I should have known better than to trust what gleams

Your coat on my chair still smells like rain

You leave no fingerprints, you leave the stain

A silver spoon and a velvet lie

You raise a toast while the roses die

You call it heaven, I call it a trap

One little promise and I can't turn back

You are so sweet

But so is antifreeze

Blue in the bottle, cold as a disease

You are so sweet

With your hands on my keys

I should have known better than to trust what gleams

If love is a fever, you brought the ice

If truth is a mirror, you shattered it twice

I taste the metal, I loosen my tie

Your pretty little kingdom is learning to die

You are so sweet

But so is antifreeze

Blue in the bottle, cold as a disease

You are so sweet

Now get away from me

I left your name beneath the dead oak tree

So sweet, so clean

A poison dressed in green
