Venus in my mind

[Intro:] [Soft vocal harmony layering] “Oooooh” [Instrumental Intro – whisper loop, lo-fi hum, distant static beat] [Then a spoken lead:] "Some love is real… some love is just a memory… But she? She’s in my mind… every moment." Can’t sleep She’s in my head again Breathing in my blood Fingernails on my breath She won’t Leave [Verse 1] She moves like thunder in my mouth Cracked my ribs just crawling out Gold on her tongue, lies in her grin She don't knock, she breaks back in [Pre-Chorus] Every step, I lose my face Every breath, she takes my place I play the fool, she plays the flame Burns my name and calls it game [Chorus] Venus in my mind Rotten sweet, divine She pulls the string, I bite the line And I forget it every time [Instrumental – kick-heavy beat, fuzzed-out bass, ghostly vocal hum woven low] [Verse 2] She’s a spell that won’t wear off Kissed me once, now I rot soft Carousel of broken skin I spin and grin and let her win [Pre-Chorus] Even silence moans her shape She don't ask, she just takes Walks by like I ain’t real But I still choke on how I feel [Chorus] Venus in my mind Sick and gold and blind Tattooed deep in every line I still call her mine [Bridge – whispered, cracked voice, layered with falsetto and static] She’s not light She’s not love She’s a drug With no high She’s the voice When I lie She’s the kiss That won’t die (oh no… oh no…) [Breakdown – drums cut out, looped gasp and guitar ring like feedback] Can’t let go Don’t know how She’s the pulse I disavow She’s the beat Inside my doubt I scream But nothing comes out [Final Chorus – layered vocals, loose and wild] Venus in my mind Rotten sweet, divine She pulls the string, I bite the line And I forget it every time Venus in my head Dancing where I bled She never loved, she just fed But I still make the bed [Outro – soft, hissy guitar loop fading, whispered breath over the top:] She’s in my mind She’s in my mind She’s in my mind Always… Always… (Venus…) [End]©️Killeen3000
