[Verse 1]
Late night scrolling through your second phone screen
Telling me I'm crazy for the things that I've seen
You construct a reality, paint it real pretty
Leave me broke and alone in the middle of the city
Got a PhD in twisted mind games
Every argument you switch up all the names
I keep coming back like a habit I can't break
Drinking down the poison for the high that it makes
[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning on your carousel, falling through the floor
Every time I try to leave, you lock another door
[Chorus]
And we burn in the neon, tangled in the wires
Drowning in the gasoline, dancing in the fires
Toxic love, sweet poison in my vein
I keep calling it passion while it's driving me insane
Yeah we burn in the neon, twisted at the core
Tell me that you hate me then you ask me for some more
[Verse 2]
Rapid pulse, heartbeat pounding through my chest
You only show up when I'm running at my least
Gaslight specialist, master of the fake
Counting up the promises you're waiting just to break
I say I'm done today, you pull me by the sleeve
Know exactly what to say to make me not leave
It's a beautiful trap, it's a golden cage
Turning every sweet memory into rage
[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning on your carousel, falling through the floor
Every time I try to leave, you lock another door
[Chorus]
And we burn in the neon, tangled in the wires
Drowning in the gasoline, dancing in the fires
Toxic love, sweet poison in my vein
I keep calling it passion while it's driving me insane
Yeah we burn in the neon, twisted at the core
Tell me that you hate me then you ask me for some more
[Bridge]
(Tempo accelerates, heavy sub 808s)
Wait... who's the one pulling strings?
Who's the one wearing rings?
Look in the mirror, see the crown on my head
Maybe I'm the monster that you feared instead
[Finale Double Chorus: Overlapping Call and Answer Twist]
(Lead Vocal - Main Chorus)
And we burn in the neon, tangled in the wires!
(Overlapping Vocal - Reveal Counter-Melody)
[I was the trap, I set the floor!]
(Lead Vocal)
Drowning in the gasoline, dancing in the fires!
(Overlapping Vocal)
[You didn't lock it, I locked the door!]
(Lead Vocal)
Toxic love, sweet poison in my vein!
(Overlapping Vocal)
[I fed you the poison, I mapped out the pain!]
(Both Vocals Layered)
I keep calling it passion while it's driving us insane!
We're both the poison, we're both the flame!
[Outro]
(Sub-bass decay, sudden vocal cut)
It was me all along.
(Fade out)
