Sweet Poison – Music

For the article Murderer Fiancé — a dark, gripping ballad told from inside the nightmare. She sees through the smile, the velvet promises, the locked door. This is the voice of the one who got out.

Lyrics

In a quiet town where the girls all fade

No goodbye, just a trail that breaks

Whispers hanging in the midnight air

But nobody sees, no one knows where

He wore a smile like a perfect lie

Gold and promises, cold inside

Said "I love you" with a velvet tongue

But something in me said run, run, run

Empty halls and a silent room

Moving slowly through the gloom

Breathing in there's a foul smell

Walking in this lair from hell

You're the poison, you're the rot in the bone

Sweet on the outside, deadly alone

You stalk them down, then snatch your prey

Forced to your lair, for their final day

I see the truth, I won't be your prize

I hear their screams behind your eyes

You tried to bury me just like them

But I escaped your lair's den

In the kitchen, there's a blood-red dress

A broken shoe, place wreaks of death

Footsteps coming from outside,

Voices nearing, I run and hide

Minions dragging her inside,

Drunken monsters, no place to hide

I held my breath in the darkest night

While evil slept in plain sight

Ticking time, don't make a sound

A scream is rising, push it down

If I move, I disappear

If I stay, I die right here

You're the poison, you're the rot in the bone

Sweet on the outside, deadly alone

You stalk them down, then snatch your prey

Forced to your lair, for their final day

I see the truth, I won't be your prize

I hear their screams behind your eyes

You tried to bury me just like them

But I escaped your lair's den

Bones in the garden

Bones on the ground

All of your secrets

Have now been found

You thought just like them

My life you'd drown

But I'm the witness

I'll bring you down

You're the monster, now the town's awake

Fire and fury, your walls will break

No more silence, no more disguise

You've been exposed for what's inside

They're coming for you, feel the ground shake

This is the end of your mistake

You tried to bury them underneath

And now you're under six feet deep
