Venom On Your Tongue

[Verse 1]

Red flag smile

You lean in

I lean closer

Cheap red wine

Tastes sweeter on your shoulder

You say my name

Like you’re pulling out a secret

I hear sirens

But my body doesn’t heed it

[Pre-Chorus]

You trace a promise on my wrist

Like it’s a spell you’re casting quick

I see the warning in your eyes

Still I step across the line

[Chorus]

You got venom on your tongue

But I keep coming

Keep coming

Every lie tastes like love

And I keep swallowing

Falling

If you’re the wound

I’ll be the one who doesn’t run

You’re poison in my lungs

And I breathe in

I breathe in

All your venom on your tongue

[Verse 2]

Blackout laugh

You twist every confession

Every soft fact

Turns sharp in your possession

You talk about your past

Like a movie you’re directing

I know I’m just a scene

You’ll cut out by the ending

[Pre-Chorus]

Your fingers tangled in my hair

A little choke of borrowed air

I feel the danger in your grip

Still I’m leaning off the cliff

[Chorus]

You got venom on your tongue

But I keep coming

Keep coming

Every lie tastes like love

And I keep swallowing

Falling

If you’re the wound

I’ll be the one who doesn’t run

You’re poison in my lungs

And I breathe in

I breathe in

All your venom on your tongue

[Bridge]

Tie me up in your half-truth halo (oh)

Make me holy

Make me hollow

If you’re the sin I choose tonight

Then I don’t wanna be forgiven

[Chorus]

You got venom on your tongue

But I keep coming

Keep coming

Every lie tastes like love

And I keep swallowing

Falling

If you’re the wound

Carved in a place I can’t outrun

You’re poison in my lungs

And I breathe in

I breathe in

All your venom on your tongue
