Venom in my veins

Title: Venom in My Veins

I’ve been crawling through the wreckage in my mind

Every step I take, I leave a grave behind

All these demons keep on knocking at my door

But I built the hinges out of all my guilty wars

I’m a loaded gun in a crowded room

Smile in my teeth, but it hides the doom

You can taste the blood in every word I spit

This is not a phase, I was born with it

And I’m breaking down

Like the night sky swallowing the sun

I’m a shadow in the spotlight

And I’m coming undone

There’s venom in my veins, and it’s burning me alive

I’m screaming at the mirror just to see if I survive

All the lies I’ve swallowed, they’re corroding in my chest

But I’ll wear my scars like armor ‘til there’s nothing left

Every heartbeat feels like a war drum

Every breath I take tastes like a loaded gun

You wanna see my halo?

I sold it for a taste of control

Now I’m dancing in the fire with a smile in my soul

Rip the wings from my back, I was never gonna fly

I’m a serpent in the garden with a devil in my eye

You can chain my body, but my mind’s gonna run

Through the ashes and the smoke ‘til the battle is won

(Whispered) I’m not afraid to drown…

(Shouted) I’m terrified to float

‘Cause every time I rise, I choke

Bury me alive in the hell I’ve made

I’ll dig myself out with the bones I’ve saved

Your judgment means nothing, I’ve been crucified twice

I’m the killer and the victim, and I’m rolling the dice

There’s venom in my veins, and it’s burning me alive

I’m screaming at the mirror just to see if I survive

All the lies I’ve swallowed, they’re corroding in my chest

But I’ll wear my scars like armor ‘til there’s nothing left

Nothing left…

Nothing left…

Just the venom in my veins…
