What's in the Drink

Prelude

Ice rattles softly in the glass,

Neon trembles across the room,

Something sweet hides underneath.

Verse 1

You smiled across our candlelit table,

The words, "Relax, tonight is just for two,"

I watched the amber shimmer in the glass,

Never saw the danger looking through.

Pre-Chorus

The room began to tilt and fade,

And every heartbeat sounded wrong.

Chorus

What's in the drink, what's in the drink?

Why can't I move, why can't I think?

Something inside me screams to wake,

While shadows crawl beneath the floor,

And Something sweet hides underneath.

Post-Chorus

The glass still shines beside my hand,

But I don't know who I am.

Verse 2

I woke beneath a ceiling stained with red,

My wrists were bruised, my mouth was dry,

A jagged pain was burning through my side,

And there he stood beneath the light.

Pre-Chorus

That same warm smile was on his face,

The man who bought the poisoned drink.

Chorus

What's in the drink, what's in the drink?

Why can't I move, why can't I think?

Something inside me screams to wake,

While shadows crawl beneath the floor,

And Something sweet hides underneath.

Post-Chorus

I tried to scream, but nothing came,

He whispered softly, "You know my name."

Bridge

The man from dinner shed his skin,

His hands became like crooked claws,

His eyes burned black beneath his grin,

The monster was the man I saw.

Piano Solo

Verse 3

I dragged myself across the floor,

Leaving crimson fingerprints behind,

He stalked me like a starving beast,

Still wearing that familiar smile.

Pre-Chorus

I knew the face behind the claws,

The stranger from my blind-date night.

Chorus

What's in the drink, what's in the drink?

Why can't I move, why can't I think?

Something inside me screams to wake,

While shadows crawl beneath the floor,

And Something sweet hides underneath.

Post-Chorus

He isn't hiding in the dark,

He was beside me from the start.

Verse 4

I burst outside into the rain,

Sirens bleeding red across the street,

They found me shaking by the curb,

But he was gone before they came.

Pre-Chorus

They said the drug would fade with time,

But I still see his face at night.

Chorus

What's in the drink, what's in the drink?

Why can't I move, why can't I think?

Something inside me screams to wake,

While shadows crawl beneath the floor,

And the monster still knows where I live.

Post-Chorus

That glass still waits inside my dreams,

And every date is what it seems.

Outro

The ice still rattles when I sleep,

I see his smile whenever I blink,

And now I know what's in the drink____
