“Prescription Love (Violet Haze)” Verse 1 Midnight in a violet haze, smokey eyes, black chipped nail polish phase, cheap parfum and a cigarette taste, self-hatred dressed like grace. Fishnets torn on london streets, black boots pounding broken beats, Kurt & Courtney in my bloodstream, love like a loaded gunshot dream. We were eating takeout on white satin sheets, tattoos tangled, lace and leather heat, you said, “darling, dare me — reckless truth,” we were too young just to feel alive, not proof. ⸻ Pre-Chorus Hospital sirens in the back of my head, prescription love in a pill you said— “Take two hearts and call it fate,” but every dose just numbs the ache. ⸻ Chorus Prescription love — overdose, overdose, kissing sins like we’re invincible ghosts, down to the river where the gravel cuts close, we swore forever but forever ran dry. Prescription love — loud, loud, loud, crying in the rain but we won’t back down, heart like a gunshot, bleeding it out, we said “we’ll live forever” — we lied. ⸻ Verse 2 Small town promqueen in a sunday dress, innocence stitched in lace, I guess, church bells ringing through girlhood sins, bible book prayers with shaking limbs. On the knees like a soldier’s plea, only son dying inside of me, warm brown eyes but they never see, the cruel world carved in devignity. Cocaine nights in an old van ride, whiskey kisses, novocaine highs, pills like candy, withdrawal cries, wept like wolves when the silence bites. ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 Vinyl shop dreams and a grunge cassette, Sex Pistols screaming in my headset, you said, “baby, we’re not done yet,” but morning would never come — just regret. ⸻ Chorus (Bigger) Prescription love — overdose, overdose, like an ocean pulling me under slow, graveyard wildflowers where our blood still grows, we carved our names where the lost things lie. Prescription love — loud, loud, loud, middlefinger up in a burning crowd, heart like a gunshot screaming it out, we said “we’ll live forever” — we lied. ⸻ Bridge (Emotional explosion) We were holding hands til the sun came up, pink skies bleeding into us, dreams collapse like a burning cross, time don’t heal — it just covers the cost. Naked truth in a hospital room, sirens singing our favorite tune, you said “love is just something you choose,” but I chose you — and I still lose. Daughter of a life that ran dry, college ghosts and a lullaby, sensitive heart in a world that bites, we lit our fire just to watch it die. ⸻ Final Chorus (Last punch — stripped but devastating) Prescription love — overdose, overdose, cigarette prayers and a body too close, down to the river where the cold wind blows, we swore forever but forever ran dry. Prescription love — loud, loud, loud, crying in the rain but we won’t back down, heart like a gunshot fading out now— we said “we’ll live forever”… …we lied. ⸻ Outro Violet haze, midnight stays, smoke still clinging to our names— only to feel alive, we burned the same.
