Released October 2022

Lyrics

🖤

You brought me in from the cold
Took my heart and heated it up
I was so ready to fall in love

You shovelled out the snow
Gave me a blanket, hot coco
I couldn’t get enough

Baby you’ve given me Nightshade
Feelin’ delirium, I’m slippin’ away
A dose of belladonna
Doesn’t go away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade

I feel it, I feel it spreading through my veins
Don’t even, don’t even remember my name
A dose of belladonna
I’m slippin’ away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade

🗡

Dropped my heart, you gave it up
People tellin’ me it’s just bad luck
But I know better
You hollowed out the good
No idea what you were capable of
You played your game

Baby you’ve given me Nightshade
Feelin’ delirium, I’m slippin’ away
A dose of belladonna
Doesn’t go away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade

I feel it, I feel it spreading through my veins
Don’t even, don’t even remember my name
A dose of belladonna
I’m slippin’ away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade

☠️

You wanted me to believe that
I needed you
So that you could walk away (I feel it, I feel it)
You played your game (you’re killin’ me)
You played your game

Baby you’ve given me Nightshade
Feelin’ delirium, I’m slippin’ away
A dose of belladonna
Doesn’t go away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade
I feel it, I feel it spreading through my veins
Don’t even, don’t even remember my name
A dose of belladonna
I’m slippin’ away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade

I feel it, I feel it
Baby you’re killin’ me
I feel it, I feel it
Oh, yeah
A dose of belladonna
I’m slippin’ away
You’re killin’ me with your Nightshade
