Your cruel, device, Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill, my pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins you're poison
I don't wanna break these chains

Your mouth, so hot, your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet, Black lace on sweat
I hear you calling and it's needles and pins
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name

Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins you're poison
I don't wanna break these chains you're poison


One look, could kill, my pain, your thrill

I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins you're poison
I don't wanna break these chains POISON!!
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins you're poison
I don't wanna break these chains
I don't wanna break these chains line and end with single strum
