[Intro] You didn't bruise me where it shows You worked beneath the surface, slow like something viral in the bloodstream rewriting what my instincts mean [Verse] You quarantined me from my people, said their love was insincere, that isolation built "a future," while you fed me doubt and fear You studied every soft reaction, logged my tells like case notes kept which words made my breathing stutter, which nights I never really slept You'd infect a memory on purpose Change the ending, twist the scene So I'd question what I witnessed, so your hands came out clean [Pre-Chorus] Please someone come and save me, yeah, I’m running but, I can't break free No, I can't break free [Chorus] You're toxic like a plague, infecting every vein, Whispers in the dark, corrupting my brain Rotten hearts collide, no cure to set us free, The sickness of your lies keeps consuming me This is far from pleasure but tortured desire, Poison in the veins, truth consumed by fire No sanctuary left, no cure to find, The sickness of your soul infects mankind [Verse 2] Love, kindness and compassion is what I'm dreaming, yeah sex money power is what you're scheming You're fucking with my head, telling me you wish I was dead, yeah, making a big show of taking someone else to bed I say "I love you", you say "fuck you", yeah, your praying to God to take me out of the view I'm not safe at home, not safe in society, yeah, the hate and abuse is giving me so much anxiety You're a poison in my veins and the only cure is to leave, yeah, but when I try, you act like I'm the bad guy, and pretend to hurt and grieve If each bruise was a tattoo then I'd be a work of art, yeah, the broken shatter in my chest is what remains of my heart Every day it’s the same fuckin' shit, always being spat on, kicked, and hit I'm surrounded by people yet I'm totally alone, yeah, death threats from strangers is all you’ll find on my phone I'm losing sight of what's right and what's wrong, yeah, your voice is a cursed loop playing on repeat in my head all day long [Pre-Chorus] Please someone come and save me, yeah, I'm running but I can't break free No, I can't break free [Chorus] You're toxic like a plague, infecting every vein, Whispers in the dark, corrupting my brain Rotten hearts collide, no cure to set us free, The sickness of your lies keeps consuming me This is far from pleasure but tortured desire, Poison in the veins, truth consumed by fire No sanctuary left, no cure to find, The sickness of your soul infects mankind [Bridge] Observing your prey, you stayed to decay Spreading rapidly, like contagion in society Marked yourself apart, set high priority, Crushing reality, gaslighting authority I assumed you a lifeline, source of safety Your sinister hold, ripped my heart brutally Rotting the root of trust, leaving me denied, Devouring me alive, leaving me deprived [Verse 3] You lured me with kindness, but it's fake poetry, Captured my innocence, tortured by mockery I cling on to you, and for you it's cruelty, Addicted to the poison, refilling endlessly I'm fucked up to the core, you laugh and applaud, But to you, I'm nothing more than a useful fraud Ashamed of myself, is this victory for you? Thinking I'm the sick one, but that's far from the truth Infected by your virus, parasite in my bloodstream, Hollowing my core, emptying my soul within. [Chorus] You're toxic like a plague, infecting every vein, Whispers in the dark, corrupting my brain Rotten hearts collide, no cure to set us free, The sickness of your lies keeps consuming me This is far from pleasure but tortured desire, Poison in the veins, truth consumed by fire No sanctuary left, no cure to find, The sickness of your soul infects mankind [Outro] Your residue still lives in reflex, flinching at a rising tone Over-explaining harmless choices Like I'm pleading for a home Some days your voice is in my pulse, a fever I can't sweat away, but healing isn't clean or instant, it's choosing not to stay
