Sugar Venom

[Intro, Short guitar riff + bassline]
Low, clean guitar with delay. Keep it spacious.

[Verse 1, Whispery vocal + light guitar strums]
You dress it up in honey,
But I can taste the sting.
Every word is poison,
Wrapped in velvet skin.
You smile like it’s a secret,
But I can see the crime.
You’re sugar on the surface,
But venom every time.

[Pre-Chorus, Bassline steps forward, drums enter softly]
Sweet on the outside,
Rotten underneath.
You give me every reason,
To never let you breathe.

[Chorus, Bigger guitar tone, punchy drums]
Sugar venom, dripping slow,
Coats my lips but burns my throat.
Sweet and deadly, I should know,
Every kiss is just a ghost.
Sugar venom, don’t pretend,
I can taste the bitter end.
Toxic love that never mends,
Sugar venom in my veins again.

[Verse 2, Gritty guitar riff + restrained vocals]
You talk like you’re a savior,
But your hands are tied in lies.
You burn me with your silence,
I see it in your eyes.
You’re delicate destruction,
A curse I can’t unmake.
Every time I let you in,
I know it’s a mistake.

[Pre-Chorus, More urgency in the drums]
Sweet on the outside,
Rotten underneath.
You give me every reason,
To never let you breathe.

[Chorus, Guitars distorted but minimal, emotional lift]
Sugar venom, dripping slow,
Coats my lips but burns my throat.
Sweet and deadly, I should know,
Every kiss is just a ghost.
Sugar venom, don’t pretend,
I can taste the bitter end.
Toxic love that never mends,
Sugar venom in my veins again.

[Bridge, Stripped to bass + voice, whispered vocals]
Sugar, sugar,
Cut me deeper.
Venom, venom,
I’m no keeper.
Sugar, sugar,
Taste the fever.
Venom, venom,
You’re my reaper.

[Final Chorus, Full indie-rock sound, raw vocals]
Sugar venom, dripping slow,
Coats my lips but burns my throat.
Sweet and deadly, I should know,
Every kiss is just a ghost.
Sugar venom, don’t pretend,
I can taste the bitter end.
Toxic love that never mends,
Sugar venom in my veins again.

[Outro, Guitar riff echoes + fading drums]
Sugar venom…
In my veins again…
Sugar venom…
