“Honey and Hemlock” explores the duality of the woman labeled as dangerous. She is not gentle by conventional standards, yet she carries tenderness within her darkness. The reference to hemlock and honey symbolizes this contrast between poison and care, beauty and threat — and the possibility of loving someone exactly as they are, without needing to purify their essence.

Honey and Hemlock

[Verse 1]
I speak in riddles, walk in lace,
A crooked smile on a porcelain face.
They say my love’s a loaded spell,
A kiss that tastes like caramel and hell.

I light a match, then warm your hand,
I never ask you to understand.
But if you stay, I’ll show you grace—
The kind that lives in a haunted place.

[Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, darling, can’t you tell?
A bitter bloom with a velvet shell.
I’m not your angel, but I mean no harm,
Just thorns and fire wrapped in charm.
So don’t run scared from where I dwell—
I’m wicked, yes… but I wish you well.

[Verse 2]
My lullabies are lined with teeth,
I’ve worn regret like a crown beneath.
But I won’t lie, and I won’t break—
I guard the hearts that others take.

You see the storm, I see the sky,
You flinch, but I just ask you why.
They taught you fear in every frame,
But I am not the one to blame.

[Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, darling, can’t you tell?
A spell half-healed and cast too well.
I’m not your savior, but I see your scars,
I hold your truth in shattered jars.
So lean in close, don’t fear the swell—
I’m wicked, love… but I wish you well.

[Bridge]
Don’t paint me pure, I won’t pretend,
But I’ll be fierce until the end.
No prince, no prayer, just me and flame—
A dark embrace that knows your name.

[Final Chorus]
I’m honey and hemlock, sweet and sharp as hell.
A shadow’s touch with a fragile spell.
But if you’re brave, if you don’t flee—
You just might find some peace in me.
So take my hand, and time will tell—
I’m wicked, yes… but I wish you well.
