Lyric

Poison and Honey

JourneyGirl

I poured you lies in a porcelain cup

Steam dancing like our tangled hearts

The morning sun, so cold and cruel

Exposes sins we tried to part

Every word we spoke has turned to dust

My lipstick still burns from our last touch

Reflections show a brighter me

But truth was never quite enough

Now tell me darling, make your choice

Will it be poison, or will it be honey?

Each wrapped in velvet, laced with care

A gift from me — deceit or prayer

This is a gift, wrapped in my lies

Behind closed doors where silence flies

Tears and thrills, a secret kept

A vow once made, now quietly swept

No sweet disguise, no soft pretend

Just burning truths that never end

Take all my pain, my fragile grace

And hold this heart in your embrace

Words cut sharp, then bloom as flowers

From fingertips that held dark powers

Who owns the right, who draws the line?

Sanity’s just a pretty lie

If you would break me, do it now

And I will thank you, breathless and bowed

My voice, my skin, my very soul

Once unwrapped — beyond control

This is a gift you can't return

A flame that flickers just to burn

No love, no name, no sweet escape

Just velvet ropes you can’t reshape

Take all my fear, take all my flame

No glory left, no one to blame

Bound by chains that never cease

Yet in this gift, I find my peace

What I stole from you that night

I’ve come to return by candlelight

So smile for me, just once more

Let’s make this beautiful before the war

This is a gift, unnamed, untrue

The end begins and so do you

Regret and beauty sleep inside

Unravel me — I won’t hide

No mask, no veil, just raw and real

The deepest wounds that time can heal

Hold tight this gift, fragile and true

For all I am, I give to you
