[Verse 1]

I'm drinking poison and expecting you to die

It's suffocating me, might not get out alive (Fuck)

It's coursing through my veins, an envy green so bright

Intoxicating, all my senses amplified

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm holding onto anger with a clenched fist (Oh)

Knuckles start to bleed from all the tension (Oh)

Know that I should quit but I get jealous (Oh)

My mind is reckless (Oh)

[Chorus]

You're my absinthe, you're twisted like dark magic

You're glowing, and the absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

When it hits, my vision flickers

(Absinthe) You always leave me tragic

One look at her, she's straight from Hell, she'll take you with her

Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

[Verse 2]

It's no mystery, you're bad for my health

I only hate you 'cause I'm hating myself

So I hitch a ride on a cursed carousel

Next to all the other people who compete with themselves, yeah

[Verse 3]

What would happen if I trusted myself?

I used to be afraid, but I got stories to tell

Even if they try to keep my songs on a shelf

Behind smoke and mirrors, I'll bid you farewell

[Chorus]

Absinthe, you're twisted like dark magic

You're glowing, and the absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

When it hits, my vision flickers

Absinthe, you always leave me tragic

One look at her, she's straight from Hell, she'll take you with her

Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

[Outro]

Absinthe, oh, my absinthe, oh

Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter

When it hits, my vision flickers

Absinthe, oh, my absinthe, oh

Straight from Hell, she'll take you with her

Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
