Poison In My Veins
A haunting psychedelic folk-Americana duet with breathy, raspy female leads and warm, expressive male counterpart. Solo verses build intimacy atop fingerpicked acoustic guitar, cello, upright bass, and subtle textures. Rising pre-chorus swells into soaring choruses with overlapping harmonies, emotional call-and-response, and sparse percussion. The bridge turns raw, textures pare back, vocals exposed. Cinematic reverb and dynamic phrasing create lingering melancholy, finishing in a reflective, immersive outro.

We were fire on the hillside, burning through the night
Your shadow carved into me, though you never held me right
Every word was danger, but I drank it anyway
You were the ruin I invited, and I begged you to stay
But some loves don’t survive the light of day
They just wither when the dawn gives them away
You’re the wound that never healed, the scar I can’t erase
The shattered dream I still hold on to, just in case
If I could go back, I’d run, but I’d still turn the same
’Cause you’re poison in my veins, poison in my veins
I see you in the faces of strangers passing by
The memory still lingers, though I’ve learned how to lie
Said I don’t remember, said I don’t feel a thing
But my heart still wears your imprint like a wedding ring
And some flames can’t be smothered or contained
They just sear themselves in blood and never change
You’re the wound that never healed, the scar I can’t erase
The shattered dream I still hold on to, just in case
If I could go back, I’d run, but I’d still turn the same
’Cause you’re poison in my veins, poison in my veins
I could scream your name into the dark
It wouldn’t tear you from my heart
You were mine, but never mine to save
And I’ll carry you to the grave
You’re the wound that never healed, the scar I can’t erase
The shattered dream I still hold on to, just in case
If I could go back, I’d run, but I’d still turn the same
’Cause you’re poison in my veins, poison in my veins
Poison in my veins, poison in my veins
You’re the one I can’t outrun, the one I can’t explain
Poison in my veins
