Lyrics

She walks through a garden of shattered glass
Every step she takes cuts deeper than the last
The voices in her head are painted sweet
But every word they whisper drags her to her knees

They said they’d love her till she broke
And wrapped her in their binding smoke
Every kiss a scar, every hug a chain
Every promise carved in pain

Venom in her veins tonight
Running black in the pale moonlight
She’s been drinking all their lies
Till the truth is paralyzed
Dancing in the undertow
Where the roses never grow
She’s the queen of broken chains
With venom in her veins

She learned to smile through sharpened teeth
A bleeding crown of dead dreams beneath
They fed her hope from a poisoned cup
And told her she was never enough

They said they’d love her till she broke
And wrapped her in their binding smoke
Every kiss a scar, every hug a chain
Every promise carved in pain

Venom in her veins tonight
Running black in the pale moonlight
She’s been drinking all their lies
Till the truth is paralyzed
Dancing in the undertow
Where the roses never grow
She’s the queen of broken chains
With venom in her veins

Every wound you gave, I’ll keep
Every secret, buried deep
You made a monster out of me
And I’ll be your worst memory

Let it burn, let it bleed
She’s the nightmare that you seed
Every ghost you tried to make
Is awake, is awake

Venom in her veins tonight
Running black in the pale moonlight
She’s been drinking all their lies
Till the truth is paralyzed
Dancing in the undertow
Where the roses never grow
She’s the queen of broken chains
With venom in her veins

She walks through a garden of shattered glass
And never looks back
