Toxic Serenity

You light the candles, but your eyes ain't warm tonight
The dinner's plated, but we're not talkin' right
Silence got a voice now, and it's louder than your lies
We smile like strangers - kissin' just to survive
No screaming, no fights, just empty space
Perfume and pillows, but no real embrace
We play house like it's a role we were cast
But the script is fading way too fast
Toxic serenity
You're killing me so tenderly
I sleep in your arms, but I wake up alone
This peace we built feels overgrown
Toxic serenity
No storm, just slow calamity
You say you love me without sound
And I keep sinking without drowning
We sip red wine, avoiding the truth again
Your touch is sugar hiding the end
I trace the cracks in the walls of your care
Pretending there's something still left there
Whisper me sweet nothings
So I won't hear the end
Wrap me in calm destruction
Again and again
Call it love, call it peace
But baby, this ain't free
I lost myself in this quiet deceit
Toxic serenity
You're killing me so tenderly
I sleep in your arms, but I wake up alone
This peace we built feels overgrown
Toxic serenity
No scars, just slow insanity
A love so quiet, it broke my soul
With every hug, I lost control
"So calm, I never screamed... but I still bled."
