Sweet Venom

"Sweet Venom"

Verse 1

You text me at midnight, saying that you're outside

I know I should ignore it, but I’m stepping out to see the sight

One look in your eyes and my logic disappears

We’ve done this a hundred times, the same old tears

You got that velvet voice, talking like you changed now

Playing with my heart, putting me through the flame now

I say I’m over you, but then you pull me in

And we’re back at square one, committing the same sin

Pre-Chorus

(Vocal stack / soft ad-libs)

It’s a bad habit, bad habit, can't break free

You’re no good, no good, no good for me

Every time I try to leave, you call my name

And I run right back into the flame…

Chorus

(Catchy, rhythmic, and repetitive)

Sweet venom, sweet venom on my lips

One touch and I’m falling off the cliff

Yeah, you got me going round and round, round and round

Taking me up, then crashing to the ground

Sweet venom, sweet venom, can’t let go

You’re toxic, baby, but you already know

Yeah, we do it again, do it again, yeah

Round and round, back to where we began

Verse 2

(Fast, syncopated flow)

Sugar-coated promises wrapped in a lie

You make me feel like heaven, then you make me want to cry

High off the drama, hooked on the thrill

If the sweetness don't get me, then the hangover will

Got me re-checking my phone, waiting on your cue

Why do the worst things feel so good with you?

Pre-Chorus

It’s a bad habit, bad habit, can't break free

You’re no good, no good, no good for me

Every time I try to leave, you call my name

And I run right back into the flame

Chorus

Sweet venom, sweet venom on my lips

One touch and I’m falling off the cliff

Yeah, you got me going round and round, round and round

Taking me up, then crashing to the ground

Sweet venom, sweet venom, can’t let go

You’re toxic, baby, but you already know

Yeah, we do it again, do it again, yeah

Round and round, back to where we began

Bridge

(Stripped back beat, building up vocal runs)

I pull away, you pull me closer

We both know this should be over

Fire and ice, sugar and spice

Paying the price, rolling the dice

(Vocal run: Ooh-woah~)

I know it’s bad but I want it twice

Chorus

Sweet venom, sweet venom on my lips

One touch and I’m falling off the cliff

Yeah, you got me going round and round, round and round

Taking me up, then crashing to the ground

Sweet venom, sweet venom, can’t let go

You’re toxic, baby, but you already know

Yeah, we do it again, do it again, yeah

Round and round, back to where we began

Outro

(Fading out with whistle tones / soft whispers)

Sweet venom Yeah, yeah

Round and round

Can’t let go

(Whisper) Toxic but I love it.
