[OPENING — DARK, WHISPERED VOCALS BUILDING INTO A SCREAM] Sweet like candy, soft as cotton, Rock-candy heartbeats nearly stopping. Chocolate soul beneath a surface, Sugar-coated, sweet deception, all for show. Sour-candy streams run through licorice veins, Crystalline hammers pound inside my brain. A sugary smile conceals the crime— BREAK……… IT……… APART! [VERSE 1 — RAP | RAPID-FIRE ALLITERATION] Valentine vixen, vexing, vicious, Dealing death in dreams delicious. Drinking darkness, drowning deeply, Weaving wicked webs so sweetly. Sexy lace leaves a trace, Tightens slowly, steals your pace. Breath is hitching, body twitching, Candy-crush rhythms got your senses glitching. Hold your breath, hide your neck When the cold wind starts to blow. Check your pulse, avert your eyes— Feel the poison take control. Sweet temptation, suffocation, Sugar-fueled hallucination. Lips like honey, heart of stone, Candy-coated, all alone!

[VERSE 2 — DARK MELODIC RAP BUILDING INTO AGGRESSIVE VOCALS] Eyes roll back when the rhythm takes effect, Electric pulses twist the spine and disconnect. Music-magic weaving tragic patterns through the track, Tiny hearts keep beating, but there's no turning back. Whisper, "Love me, hold me, promise you'll be true," While chalk-white clouds obscure the things I do. Missions turn to wishes, every promise fades to black, Chasing sugar-coated dreams that never give you back. A little taste, a sweet embrace, A pretty lie behind a pretty face. The tempo rises, the walls cave in, You lose the fight before it can begin. One more note, one last refrain, Sweet salvation dressed in pain. Hear the melody, feel the attack— Once you're inside, there's no turning back! [CHORUS — FULL BAND, HEAVIER GUITARS, STACKED VOCALS] LEAD: CANDY-COATED CYANIDE! BACKING: Sweet death dripping through my mind! LEAD: BUBBLEGUM GLYCERIN! BACKING: Blowing up the world within! LEAD: SODA-POP MERCURY! BACKING: Spilling out for all to see! LEAD: PEANUT-BUTTER!

CANDY-COATED CYANIDE! [BRIDGE — HAUNTED WHISPERS BUILDING INTO A VOCAL EXPLOSION] Passion-purple ribbons wrap around my thoughts, Pretty little bows conceal the battles that I've fought. Words drip from my lips like secrets left to spoil, Sweetness turns to sickness as the sugar starts to boil. Little secrets, can't you keep them? Pretty promises, deceive them! Candy-colored bullets fly, Skittle-kissed ammunition rains from the sky! A candy mission, sweet submission, Sugar-dipped in superstition. Pretty packaging, a beautiful lie— ONE MORE TASTE OF CYANIDE! [BREAKDOWN — HEAVY GUITARS, HALF-TIME DRUMS, SHOUTED VOCALS] SWEET! (SWEET!) SICK! (SICK!) SUGAR-COATED— POISONED KISS! BITE THE APPLE! TASTE THE LIE! SAY GOODNIGHT TO— CYANIDE! [FINAL CHORUS — FULL-POWER ROCK, RAP AD-LIBS, CHOIR-LIKE BACKING VOCALS] LEAD: CANDY-COATED CYANIDE! BACKING: Sweet death dripping through my mind! LEAD: BUBBLEGUM GLYCERIN!

BACKING: BREAKING TO THE BEAT! LEAD: TOXIN! BACKING: BLEEDING THROUGH THE SUGAR-LACED TREATS! ALL — SCREAMING: CANDY-COATED CYANIDE! CANDY-COATED CYANIDE! [OUTRO — SLOW, HAUNTING VOCALS OVER A FADING MUSIC BOX] Rock-candy heart breaks apart, Sour belts leave their bitter mark. Sugar rush from a touch, One last breath, a little too much. Sweet like candy… Soft as sin… CANDY-COATED CYANIDE. …Let the sweetness pull you in.
