This song is about Angel Dust wanting to leave Valentino because he made a contract “sold his soul” and slowly losing himself. Thats why Val is “poisoning” him. Watch Hazbin Hotel on Amazon Prime, or check wiki for more lore.
[Verse 1]
I'm not above a love to cash in
Another lover underneath those flashin' lights
Another one of those ruthless nights
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I shoulda guessed that this would happen
I shoulda known it when I looked in your red-hot eyes
Spewin' all of your red-hot lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
What's the worst part of this hell?
I can only blame myself
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
Addicted to this feelin', I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm livin' like there's no tomorrow
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison
[Verse 2]
I got so good at bein' untrue
I got so good at tellin' you what you wanna hear
I disassociate, disappear
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So far beyond difficult to resist another gulp
[Chorus]
'Cause I know you're poison
You're feedin' me poison
I'm chokin' from the taste and I can't help but swallow
Up your poison
I made my choice, and
Every night I'm wasted like there's no tomorrow
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Any way you want me, baby
That's the way you got me, I'll be yours
My story's gonna end with me dead from your poison
[Outro]
Poison, I'm drownin' in poison
I'm fillin' up my glass but it's always hollow
Full of poison, I'm sick of the poison
Wish I had somethin' to live for tomorrow
