Toxic Devotion

Dark Sultry Rock Ballad

The Story

With a slow, gritty groove and soulful male vocals, this track captures the raw emotion of “melting” into a toxic connection. From intimate, breathy verses to a powerful, anthemic chorus, “Toxic Devotion” is a journey through the shadows of the heart.

Lyrics

Smoke is curling ‘round the edge of the bed
Every word you whispered, a fever in my head
It’s a beautiful poison, a sweet kind of ache
I know I’m falling for every mistake
Your skin is a map that leads nowhere good
But I’d follow the shadows just like I should

The air is getting thick, the walls are closing in
I can feel the nectar dripping on my skin
I’m losing my grip, I’m losing the fight...

Oh, let me dissolve in the heat of your flame
I’m addicted to the way you call out my name
It’s a toxic love, a beautiful mess
Sinking down deep in your velvet caress
Break me down, pull me under the tide
There’s nowhere left for my spirit to hide

Midnight nectar, a bitter-sweet taste
Giving my soul to a beautiful waste
The danger is humming beneath your touch
I never knew I could want you this much
Tracing the scars that you left on my heart

Oh, let me dissolve in the heat of your flame
I’m addicted to the way you call out my name
It’s a toxic love, a beautiful mess
Sinking down deep in your velvet caress
Break me down, pull me under the tide
There’s nowhere left for my spirit to hide

I’m melting... I’m fading away...
In the glow of the wreckage, I’m begging to stay
Just one more hit, just one more sin
Let the ghost of your hunger begin!

So beautiful...
Let me dissolve...
