Love, the vilain

Intro

I tried to bury the animal

But it learned my name

Every scar became a doorway

Every touch became a chain

Verse 1

You found me half-dead in the bathroom light

White noise ringing through the satellite

Hands around my throat like a ritual

Love turning physical

I let you pull me deeper than the undertow

Now every little secret starts to overflow

You say my name like a loaded gun

Then wonder what I’ve become

Pre-Chorus

You taste the venom every time we kiss

But you keep crawling back for it

Chorus

You bring out the worst in me

The teeth underneath my sleep

Every broken nerve you touch

Turns into violence in my blood

And I hate the way you make me feel

Like drowning slowly just to survive

If heaven’s real, it forgot about me

You bring out the worst in me

Post-Chorus

Worst in me

Worst in me

You drag it out so beautifully

Verse 2

Cold sweat dripping from the ceiling now

Every mirror in the house keeps glitching out

I see myself but the eyes don’t fit

Something wearing my skin again

You said forever with a crooked smile

Like you knew I’d rot here for a while

You love watching the pressure rise

Til the monster opens its eyes

Pre-Chorus

You kiss the wound and call it empathy

But you were feeding off of me

Chorus

You bring out the worst in me

The teeth underneath my sleep

Every broken nerve you touch

Turns into violence in my blood

And I hate the way you make me feel

Like drowning slowly just to survive

If heaven’s real, it forgot about me

You bring out the worst in me

Bridge

Maybe I was born sick

Maybe you just taught me how to use it

Maybe love is just another sharp object

Twisting in my ribs

You wanted honesty?

Here’s the fucking truth then—

I don’t know where you end

And where the darkness begins

Breakdown

YOU PULL

THE DEVIL THROUGH MY VEINS

NO CURE

JUST YOUR NAME IN MY BRAIN

IF I BITE MY TONGUE

I TASTE YOUR BLOOD AGAIN

YOU BRING OUT

THE WORST IN ME

Outro

So if I disappear into the static

Don’t pretend you didn’t have it

Your fingerprints all over the tragedy

You brought out the worst in me.
