Sugar-Coated Sin

pedal steel, bubblegum pop, emo, dark bubblegum, tragic cartoon heart, female vocals - begins with hushed nylon guitar and brushed snare, pop, then layers upright bass, emo pop, and choir harmonies until it blooms into a lantern-lit chorus built for communal singalongs, the production keeps the vocals dry and intimate while shimmering delay trails and handclaps add lift without losing the fireside warmth, female vocals

[Verse] Lipstick on the mirror Cracked like every prayer I fake "Angel Dust" in neon Just another joke I never shake Pose for the cameras Turn my feelings into glitter gore If heaven ever saw me now It would bolt the door [Pre-Chorus] Every time I reach for love I cut them on my thorns I wrap them up in pink and pearls Then leave them torn [Chorus] I’m poison in a sugar heart A halo dipped in rust Every kiss I give just turns to "angel dust" You can’t save a soul that only knows how to combust I’ll only hurt the ones I love Don’t you dare trust Don’t you dare trust this sugar-coated lust [Verse 2] Laugh track in my rib cage every time I almost cry Cartoon-colored bruises that I hide behind my cherry eyes They say "Hazbin Hotel’s" all about a second chance But I’m the punchline in the lobby I just dance and dance [Pre-Chorus] If I ever let you in You’d see the stains beneath the shine And you would run from every ghost that sleeps inside [Chorus] I’m poison in a sugar heart A halo dipped in rust Every kiss I give just turns to "angel dust" You can’t save a soul that only knows how to combust I’ll only hurt the ones I love Don’t you dare trust Don’t you dare trust this sugar-coated lust [Bridge] What if I was worth the mercy I keep laughing at? Would these feathered lies fall off and grow their color back? Or am I just a costume sewn from all the hands I’ve cut? Would you still hold me when the glitter washes off my blood? [Chorus] I’m poison in a sugar heart A halo dipped in rust Every kiss I give just turns to "angel dust"
