Venom by Nessa Barrett

Artist: Nessa Barrett

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:04

Venom is built around the idea of being drawn back to something (or someone) toxic, even when you know it’s bad for you. The title and the snippet both frame the relationship like a poison you crave — something dangerous, addictive, and sweet at the same time. The song leans into dark‑pop intensity, using “venom” as a metaphor for betrayal, emotional manipulation, and the rush that comes with it.

Venom lyrics

I like my roses dyin'
I watch as my heart turns black
He only keeps me cryin'
And I keep on coming back
Oh, I got a real bad disease
Oh, it's living inside of me
Oh, makes me sick, makes me weak
But I'll never want to be free
It's the venom, yeah
It's the venom, yeah
Is this what is means to be in love?
Venom on my lips and on my tongue
It's the venom, yeah
Sweet, sweet venom, yeah
With you, I feel like dyin'
It's deadlier when I'm not
If I said I'm leaving, I'd be lying
'Cause I'm drinking every drop
Oh, I got a real bad disease
Oh, it's living inside of me
Oh, makes me sick, makes me weak
But I'll never want to be free
It's the venom, yeah
It's the venom, yeah
Is this what is means to be in love? (Be in love)
Venom on my lips and on my tongue (On my tongue)
It's the venom, yeah
Sweet, sweet venom, yeah
Give me that sweet, sweet venom
Give me that sweet, sweet venom
Give me that sweet, sweet venom
