acidic

You talk sweet but it stings

like neon under skin I taste

the metal on your breath every

time you grin Your love’s a

chemistry set,

you mix it just to hurt

I’m the test tube shaking while

you call it practice words And

I keep reaching for the calm

that you won’t bring Like praying

through a crack in a flashing

sign

You’re acidic, burning through my bones

Turning every “I’m okay” into bones

and smoke Said you’d hold me,

then you let the heat rise

Now I’m stuck in the aftermath

of your perfect lies Yeah,

you’re acidic

Toxic in the light

I watch your polished pain like

a gemstone you own Make a

halo out of hate and call

it being grown Every kiss is

a warning label I don’t read

in time Every calm you take

away leaves a world a different

shade of mine

My heart’s doing backflips in a

jar of fumes Trying to survive

where you made rules into ruins

You’re acidic, burning through my bones

Turning every “I’m okay” into bones

and smoke Said you’d hold me,

then you let the heat rise

Now I’m stuck in the aftermath

of your perfect lies Yeah,

you’re acidic

Toxic in the light

Yo, look You got that venom

in you,

baby, and you stay Talking sweet

but it cut like steel in

the rain I was cool with

the calm ‘til you turned up

the flame Now I’m backed up

in the dark like a glitch

in the frame Acid on the

tongue, yeah,

it drip when you grin Say

you love me,

then erase me,

where’d you put me in?

I don’t chase ghosts,

I don’t sip poison for proof

I’m done being your reaction,

I’m the antidote move Bottle on

the counter,

I can’t fix what you broke

You keep it toxic,

I keep it focused,

I’m on the road From the

smoke to the sunrise,

I’m rising out the fumes If

you’re acidic,

I’m healing,

watch me bloom

You’re acidic

But I’m done swallowing it I’m

breaking every bottle you tried to

label with No more heat,

no more sparks,

no more almost I’m letting you

burn out while I learn to

be soft Yeah,

you’re acidic But I’m getting clean

So take your chemical storm

Your pretty little threat

I’m not dissolving anymore

Yeah
