Verse 1 Your voice drips honey in my ear Says all the things I shouldn’t hear You don’t chase, you let me fall Like I was never strong at all Black lace thoughts around my mind Every touch rewrites the line You don’t rush, you take your time Like I’m already only mine Pre-Chorus Every stare is a loaded game Every breath is saying my name Chorus You’re my slow poison, sweet and deep You ruin me while I sleep One look and I’m undone I’m already yours, already gone You’re my slow poison, velvet sin I let you crawl under my skin No cure, no antidote I drink you down, I need the dose Verse 2 Gold light trembling on your skin I forget where I begin Your silence louder than a scream You’re the danger in my dream You don’t beg, you don’t pretend You just wait until I bend Every rule I swore I’d keep Turns to dust when you speak Pre-Chorus Every word is a velvet knife Cutting gently through my life Chorus You’re my slow poison, sweet and deep You ruin me while I sleep One look and I’m undone I’m already yours, already gone You’re my slow poison, velvet sin I let you crawl under my skin No cure, no antidote I drink you down, I need the dose Bridge Don’t save me, I don’t want clean I like the dark between your teeth Let me drown in what you are Beautiful, dangerous, and far If love is war, then let me lose I was born to choose this bruise Final Chorus You’re my slow poison, soft and wild I’d die smiling, reconciled Hold me close, then let me fall I don’t need to win at all You’re my slow poison, final kiss My favorite kind of abyss No cure, no antidote I drink you down… And love the dose Outro Still breathing. Still burning. Still yours.
