Toxicity 03:54
I’ve never known love, they say I’m naive They told me I’d end up dead if I didn’t leave Thought I’d stay forever no matter what it takes There’s something in my mind that just won’t click into place Your words turn to venom My heart turns to ice So pour the poison on the blade and stab me with the knife Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Chaos and chemistry, mixed with addictive tendencies Keeps me running back to you and you running back to me Control disguised as protection, obsession They said their anger possessed them Hands that used to caress my skin turn to weapons Motherfuckers will push if you let them Maybe I’m addicted to pain, you never take the blame You kiss the bottle and you get amnesia Say you’ll pull the trigger, sit on the tracks What’s the use of living if I won’t take you back? Push me, push me until I break Push me, push me, see how much I can fucking take I used to be mesmerized by your eyes Your lips left me breathless Then wrath took over you and your grip took my breath away Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Chaos and chemistry, mixed with addictive tendencies Keeps me running back to you and you running back to me They say you don’t know you love someone until you hate each other Always convinced I was out fucking some other Love will get you killed, and trust will get you hurt And always in the end you always end up in the dirt My head was in the clouds, destruction brought me down to earth This is now the end, it’s now the start of my rebirth Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Toxicity, how could poison be my remedy? Chaos and chemistry, mixed with addictive tendencies Keeps me running back to you and you running back to me

about

Athena wrote the lyrics to Toxcity to get all of her anger, rage and pain out after getting out of an abusive and toxic relationship. Then Athena started working with Sully and he made the song come to life, adding guitar and laying out structure. She knew her friends Candrika played bass and that Rio played drums and we got together to make a full band electric version. Instantly it was like magic and that’s how LYLYTH was formed.

“Music has become a healing tool for me. I hope this song can connect and help people who have also been in abusive and toxic relationships. I know how hard it is to leave. They can threaten their own lives and threaten yours. Will promise they will change. Stalk you. Say they will never do what they did again. Each time it gets worse. When you finally leave there may still be trauma, nightmares, flashbacks, and panic attacks. But you will be free and know it is worth it. Life has so much more to offer without them. Know it gets better. It never stops hurting but the pain will lessen as you continue on your healing journey. This song goes out to anyone who has ever been in a situation like that. You are strong af!" -Athena
