Midnight Venom

Intro - Heavy breathing, muffled bass, whisper

(It's 3 AM again... and I'm still tasting you...)

Verse 1 - Low, intimate, conversational

This ceiling's talking back to me

Painting pictures I can't unsee

Pills are kicking, lights are dim

Every thought leads back to him

Don't know peace, don't know sleep

You're a secret I still keep

Pre-Chorus - Melodic climb, voice cracking slightly

My veins are ice but my blood runs kerosene

Touch me once, I'll burn this whole city down unseen

Chorus - Explosive falsetto, huge synths

Midnight venom in my bloodstream

You're the monster in my daydream

I don't wanna be the one who's healed

'Cause without this pain, you're not real

(Swear I saw you in the rearview)

Midnight venom, I still need you

Verse 2 - Short, rhythmic, almost rapping

White noise radio

Static on the stereo

You're the signal that I chase

Ghost with a familiar face

Break my heart and call it art

Tear the stitches, pull apart

Pre-Chorus

My veins are ice but my blood runs kerosene

Touch me once, I'll burn this whole city down unseen

Chorus - Bigger this time, more ad-libs, harmonized layers

Midnight venom in my bloodstream

You're the monster in my daydream

I don't wanna be the one who's healed

'Cause without this pain, you're not real

(Drowning, drowning, I don't need air)

Midnight venom everywhere

Bridge - Sudden drop, just a muted kick drum

Hush...

There's nobody in my bed

Just the voices in my head

Playing you instead...

Final Chorus - Slow build from whisper to full scream/sing

(I don't wanna be healed...)

Midnight VENOM!

(I just wanna feel real...)

Oh, I still need you, still need you...

(Fading out: I'm still... tasting... you...)
