No Antidote (Echoes of the Horizon Cover) Redux

[Intro – Low, smoky whisper] Yeah… Some wounds don’t heal. Some hearts don’t cleanse. Some love ain’t meant for creatures like me. R’s up. --- [Verse 1 — King Koff] I been breathin’ toxins since the crib, since the cradle, Smog in my lungs, heart black as my label. Team Rocket made me — Giovanni signed the fable, Now I drip venom from every goddamn angle. You tried to touch somethin’ you can’t sanitize, Tried to kiss lips that kill hope on sight. Baby, you sweet — but I rot everything I bite. I’m a poison-type soul, I don’t glow in the light. You thought love was the cure, but it ain’t reach this deep. My past ain’t scars — they wounds that never sleep. You held me tight, but even then, I seeped… And if you wonder why I pushed you, I was savin’ you from me. --- [Hook — Haunting, heavy] There’s no antidote for a heart this broke. No potion, no prayer, no whispered hope. You loved a monster — now you choke. Baby, run from me. I’m poison. No antidote. --- [Verse 2 — King Koff] Yeah, I felt somethin’ real — but feelings don’t fix rot. I could hold your hand, but it’d blister on the spot. I could give you my heart — but trust me, you don’t want what I got. It’s a grave with a rhythm, a beat that forgot. You tried to heal me with softness, affection, but I’m built from hazard zones and injections. I’m a walking warning sign — fuck direction. Every time I love, I spread infection. I choke on regrets like they part of my lungs. Words taste bitter on a poisoner’s tongue. You deserved sunlight, I come from where shadows sprung. Baby, you wanted a man — but I’m a war that’s never won. --- [Hook — Stronger, louder] There’s no antidote for a heart this broke. No potion, no prayer, no whispered hope. You loved a monster — now you choke. Baby, run from me. I’m poison. No antidote. --- [Bridge — Half-spoken, devastated] If I ever said I didn’t love you, that was the lie. If I ever said I’m safe to hold, that was the crime. Truth is… I kill everything that lets me inside. And I ain’t watchin’ you become another casualty of mine. --- [Final Verse — King Koff, quiet rage] So go — before the fumes take hold. Before your skin cracks, before your veins run cold. Before loving me becomes a story they’re told. “Sweet girl fell for a king… and he swallowed her whole.” I’m the smog in the skyline, the rot in the bone, The hazard they warn you about when you walk alone. You ain’t weak — but I’m stronger in the wrong way grown. I don’t need a partner — I need a warning zone. Baby, this ain’t romance. This is toxic devotion. And the only thing I give is corrosion in motion. I’m sorry you tried… but this ain’t what love wrote in. I’m King Koff. And there ain’t no cure for what I’m soaked in. --- [Final Hook — Echoing, tragic] There’s no antidote for a heart this broke. No potion, no prayer, no whispered hope. You loved a monster — now you choke. Baby, run from me. I’m poison. No antidote.
