WARM POISON LULLABY [Verse 1] She tucked me in with liquid light A velvet kiss, a loaded knife Every nerve went quiet, still She sang my pain to sleep My heartbeat slowed, my demons fled I felt like God forgot I bled For just a while I wasn't me I was finally free [Pre-Chorus] But angels always sharpen their teeth When they promise relief [Chorus] This is my warm poison lullaby A love that kills me every time A halo hiding homicide I'm healing and I'm dying inside I chased her shadow through the streets Sold my soul for anesthesia She kissed my veins, then said goodbye This is my warm poison lullaby [Verse 2] Cold sweat confession, shaking hands Counting prayers in rubber bands Every mirror screams her name And I don't look back the same My phone lights up like a warning sign Your tears look heavier than mine You say "you're losing who you are" I say "I'm just numb, not gone" [Pre-Chorus] But numb is where the bodies sleep And love is what I couldn't keep [Chorus] This is my warm poison lullaby A love that kills me every time A halo hiding homicide I'm healing and I'm dying inside I chased her shadow through the streets Sold my soul for anesthesia She kissed my veins, then said goodbye This is my warm poison lullaby [Bridge - Spoken/Half-Sung] You held my face and begged me to stay I held the needle and looked away Your voice was breaking, mine was gone I chose the silence over your arms [Breakdown - Screamed] I WANTED PEACE I CHOSE A GRAVE I CALLED IT LOVE IT CALLED MY NAME [Final Chorus - Gang Vocals] This is my warm poison lullaby A love that kills me every time I carved my hope into a lie And stitched it shut to feel alive I chased her shadow through the streets Set my halo on anesthesia She kissed my veins, then said goodbye This is my warm poison lullaby [Outro - Whisper] I don't need heaven if it looks like her I don't want peace if it costs your heart I'm learning how to feel the hurt Without turning love into a hearse [End]
