Venomous

Intro

Rats chewing through the wires, cold sweat on my skin

Shadow in the corner, I know where I've been

Cracks in the mirror, smile’s got a twist

Woke up in a fever from death’s empty kiss

Verse 1

Creep from the gutter, bleed what I utter

Life with a stutter, burn in the clutter

Windows boarded tight, claw through the dirt

Laughter in the pipes, blood stains on the shirt

Grunge on my soul like the mold on the wall

Look at the dust, hear invisible calls

Gnashing my teeth, no solace or bliss

Everything rots after death’s empty kiss

Chorus

Death’s empty kiss (cold lips, cold lips)

Left me crawling in the mist (smoke drips, soul rips)

Hands clutch the void and the grave calls me home

Trying to scream through the skin and the bone

Verse 2

Black bile in a dream, dead eyes in a shrine

Serpents flick tongues in the back of my mind

Chalk on the street, hope’s under the boot

Fear’s just a fruit swallowing its root

Did I die yesterday or am I halfway gone?

Chain my regrets, play ‘em out ‘til dawn

Worms in my veins, taste the venomous bliss

Losing myself in death’s empty kiss

Chorus

Death’s empty kiss (cold lips, cold lips)

Left me crawling in the mist (smoke drips, soul rips)

Hands clutch the void and the grave calls me home

Trying to scream through the skin and the

Bridge

Dust on my knuckles, crawl out from below

Thought there was mercy, but mercy let go

Spiders in sockets, bruise on my name

Empty hands trembling, nothing left but shame

Verse 3

Death’s embrace, wrapped tight as the night

Sweat in the mattress, no hope for the light

Beneath heavy footsteps, I swallow the pain

Skeletons rattle in the back of my brain

Scars on the ceiling, the air’s gone sour

Tongue tastes metal and the hour turns dour

No prayers for the broken, just flickering haze

Drowning alone in death’s embrace

Verse 4

Cheap whiskey burning holes in my chest

Boot prints in mud where my soul comes to rest

Smoke curling slow from the blood on my jaw

Born in the gutter, I break every law

Chorus

Killer smile, wolf behind my teeth

Barbed wire grin, rotten underneath

Counting my scars in the back of this place

Losing myself in that killer smile’s embrace

Outro

Rain on the gravel, boots sinking deep

Digging my grave where secrets sleep

Fade in the silence, no peace or denial

Go out with a curse and a killer smile
