Bloomer - The Antidote (PRETTY AND POISONOUS)

V5.5

[Verse 1] Stockholm syndrome, Sweet as silk, painted windows black as night Locked in the basement of your fractured mind I’m slithering under your skin, so slow and fine You swallowed every warning, now the venom tastes like wine I feed you poison drop by drop, straight through your veins Till you beg “make me mine” [Pre-Chorus] The brain you came with melts like sugar in my hands You’re on the brink, can’t even think, just twitching where you stand I drink you dry while you bleed out slow and sweet When I finally let you go… I won’t remember your name Isn’t it a shame? (Such a pretty shame) [Chorus] I kill to live for thrills One wicked kiss and you’re lost inside the trance I poison everything till it wilts and still you dance You need the antidote You need the antidote But I’m already in your blood—pretty poisonous [Transition / Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, pretty poisonous You know better, baby But you still crawl back for more [Verse 2] You crave me like a viper sliding warm beneath your skin Let me coil around your heart, never loosening the grip I wrap your love so tight it snaps like brittle bone By the time the danger hits, you’re already overthrown I tear you open sweetly, soft as silk and sharp as sin Before you feel the fangs sink in, I’m everything you fear Pretty poisonous, baby I twist your love to dripping lust Drain every hungry scream Before your mind can even scream [Pre-Chorus] I’m not proud—just flaunting it Taunting every proper, prim little thing I used to be Pretty vicious, venomous And still you ache, you ache for this You need the antidote You need the antidote [Chorus] I’m pretty and poisonous One taste and you’re done Pretty and poisonous Now you can’t outrun The way I move, the way I haunt The way I flaunt it till you want More of this dangerous touch You know you can’t get enough Pretty and poisonous love Pretty and poisonous love You need the antidote You need the antidote [Verse 3] No escape once the taste spreads It seals your fate, rewires your head Now you’re bound, you crave the flame I’m pretty and poisonous And you keep crawling to my door One sip of this corrupted love And your soul begs for more You like the way I pull you taut, rock you through the night Deep in the basement of desires you used to fight I’m the heart that you can't leave While you call the fire “heaven” as it eats you alive [Pre-Chorus] Prisoner of my love You swear you just can’t get enough Pretty and poisonous I ruin you with the softest touch I wear my danger like perfume Let it linger thick inside the room You breathe me in, deep and doomed Call it heaven while it burns [Chorus] I’m pretty and poisonous One taste and you’re gone Pretty and poisonous And you still hold on The way I twist, the way I taunt The way I leave you dazed and caught Deep in this dangerous rush You know you can’t get enough Pretty and poisonous love Pretty and poisonous love You need the antidote You need the antidote [Bridge] (slower, intimate, then building dread) There is no antidote for you Sorry, love… I lied You drank me to the bottom Now I’m running hot inside your blood No cure left in your veins You want every filthy drop I kiss you like damnation Dress your ache in pretty sin Every thought crawls back to me Venom working deeper in There is no antidote for you No saving what you started You knew I tasted dangerous Still you opened wide, open-hearted [Breakdown] (half-spoken/half-sung, aggressive pulse) Pretty poison attack—too fast, too sweet to stop By the time you feel the bite, your whole world drops Pretty poison kiss Pretty poison touch You say you hate what I do But fuck, you love it way too much You need the antidote (You need it… you need it…) [Final Chorus] (full belt, layered vocals) I’m pretty and poisonous One taste and you’re gone Pretty and poisonous And you still hold on The way I twist, the way I taunt The way I leave you broken, caught Deep in this dangerous rush You know you’ll never get enough Pretty and poisonous love Pretty and poisonous love You need the antidote You need the antidote… [Outro / Fade] (echoing, dissolving) There’s no antidote There’s no antidote for you No antidote… No antidote for you… (Pretty… poisonous…)
