POISON
Seductive Venom: Unraveling the Toxic Allure in BROCKHAMPTON's 'POISON'
Lyrics
You are just poison, I put that on my grave
You are harmful like poison, and I affirm this even on my grave.
No need for aggression, I just need to behave
There's no need for hostility; I just need to exhibit proper behavior.
But your love is poison, I put that on my soul
Your love is toxic, and I declare this on my soul.
Pull me down with seduction, I know that you want control
You bring me down with allure and manipulation; I understand that you seek control.
You are my drugs, you are what I need
You are my addiction, the essential thing I crave.
The love of my life, you kiss me, I bleed
You, the love of my life, hurt me; your kisses cause me pain.
At night when I fiend, I'm grinding my teeth
During my cravings at night, I grind my teeth; the intensity is evident.
I get high when you speak, if I could jump I could fly
Your words elevate me; if I could jump, I'd soar. It's cold in the clouds, but I remain in the sky.
It's so cold in the clouds, but I stay in the sky
And I see you on the ground, I guess it wasn't the same
I observe you on the ground, and our experiences weren't identical.
You know I smoke and you drank, we ain't one in the same
You engage in smoking, and I in drinking; we are not similar.
I can't remember your name, but I remember your scent
I can't recall your name, but your scent lingers in my memory.
And I remember your face, and I remember the
I recall your face, and I remember...
And I remember the days, we wasn't stuck in our ways
...the days when we were not stuck in our habits.
Not a subject for change, I'm just a rat in your maze
Not open to change, I'm just a rat trapped in your maze.
And your venom's to blame
Your venom is responsible for the harm.
You are just poison, I put that on my grave
Reiteration: You are harmful like poison, and I affirm this even on my grave.
No need for aggression, I just need to behave
Reiteration: There's no need for hostility; I just need to exhibit proper behavior.
But your love is poison, I put that on my soul
Reiteration: Your love is toxic, and I declare this on my soul.
Pull me down with seduction, I know that you want control
Reiteration: You bring me down with allure and manipulation; I understand that you seek control.
Poison, poison
Repetition: Poison, poison
Poison, poison
-Poison
