[Verse 1] You wanted a scene wanted blood on the tile wanted me loud wanted teeth in my smile called me soft when I didn’t move but the shape you threw had nowhere to go You came in clean with a careful light every word dressed up like it came to be right Everybody waited for the hit to come back but I gave it no wall and the room answered back [Pre-Chorus] I could say your name I could make it loud hang your little halo over the crowd But I don’t swing where the low things live I let what you throw find its own way in [Chorus] pretty poison looks good on you pretty poison coming back in bloom almost holy almost true pretty poison looks good on you I didn’t have to throw it didn’t have to move pretty poison looks good on you [Verse 2] The crowd calls it strength when the hand comes down calls it weak when you don’t make a sound they want clean heroes with blood on their sleeves want a little damage so they know what to believe But I don’t need fire to make smoke rise don’t need your dirt under my nails tonight You pushed your weight and I gave you no wall now you’re left alone with the force of it all [Pre-Chorus 2] The lights don’t blink but they know your face the floor keeps score without leaving a trace no big revenge no dramatic proof just every little thing turning back to you [Chorus] pretty poison looks good on you pretty poison coming back in bloom almost holy almost true pretty poison looks good on you I didn’t have to throw it didn’t have to move pretty poison looks good on you [Verse 3] I used to think I had to make it fair write it in blood put a judge in the chair show them the wound make the whole room see make you the monster so they’d call me clean But every verdict split the light in two and every stone thrown learned my name too So I changed the angle not the flame let your own motion find your own name [Bridge] no judge no throne no hand throwing stone I don’t enter what you throw I step aside and let it know no curse no knife no holy little fight what you send learns your face comes back dressed in your shape I don’t need to sentence you the room already heard the truth [Final Chorus] pretty poison looks good on you pretty poison coming back in bloom almost holy almost true pretty poison looks good on you I didn’t have to throw it didn’t have to move pretty poison looks good on you pretty poison pretty proof pretty poison tastes like you what you send learns what to do pretty poison looks good on you pretty poison looks good on you [Outro] No one raised a hand. No one won the room. You threw your shadow. It came back as you.
