The Toxin

“I warned you, baby. Now you’re mine”

Lyrics:

You like the way I smile with a loaded gun behind it,
you hear my warnings, but your heartbeat likes the riot.
You say you’re different, that you won’t fall like the rest,
but every saint I touch ends up with venom in their chest.

I pull you in close just to push you off the edge,
you taste the static every time we cross that ledge.
You call it fate, but I just call it what it is
you’re just another moth that thinks it’s built for this.

I’m the thrill you’ve been dying to feel,
the red flag that you’re calling “real.”
You can drown in the sound of my voice,
but don’t you dare say you didn’t have a choice.

I’m the toxin in your veins that you keep chasing,
I’m the warning on the label you’re erasing.
I’ll pull you in, whisper, “Baby, you’re mine,”
then cut the lights and blur every line.

I’m the chaos that you swear you can handle,
kiss of gasoline, love lit like a candle.
I burn you down, but you still stay by my side
danger is the place where I come alive.

I twist your doubts until they sound just like my truth,
rewrite your memories, turn your roses into noose.
You call it love, but you’re just hooked on the high,
you wear my damage like a halo in the sky.

I change the rules every time you think you’ve learned,
you build a home in all the places that I’ve burned.
You beg for honest, but you only get the show,
you want my soul
baby, I don’t even know.

I’m the wound that you’re calling a cure,
the bad habit you still want more.
You can pray, but I don’t get clean,
I’m every nightmare dressed up like a dream.

I’m the toxin in your veins that you keep chasing,
I’m the warning on the label you’re erasing.
I’ll pull you in, whisper, “Baby, you’re mine,”
then cut the lights and blur every line.

I’m the chaos that you swear you can handle,
kiss of gasoline, love lit like a candle.
I burn you down, but you still stay by my side
danger is the place where I come alive.

I told you from the start, I’m wired like a war,
I break what I touch and then I do it once more.
You swore you wouldn’t drown, now you’re breathing in the smoke,
your halo’s in my hands and your faith is getting choked.

Don’t call me your savior when I’m pulling out the pins,
this isn’t redemption, it’s a carnival of sins.
You wanted the fire, now you’re screaming in the flame
I warned you, baby, but you loved the sound of my name.

I’m the toxin in your veins that you keep chasing,
I’m the warning on the label you’re erasing.
I’ll drag you close, whisper, “Baby, you’re mine,”
then watch you break where the dark and light align.

I’m the chaos that you swear you can handle,
kiss of gasoline, love lit like a candle.
I burn you down, but you still beg me to stay—
you love the poison more than you love the pain.

Don’t say I didn’t tell you I’m poison,
don’t say I didn’t mark every line.
You walked into the heart of my warning—
now you’re addicted to the way I ruin your mind.
