about

Track No. 8, “This Poison,” from The Sweetest Condition’s debut album, “Edge of the World,” was inspired by the dark underworld of “Vampire: The Masquerade,” “Kindred: The Embraced,” “Interview with a Vampire” and the other ‘90s-throwback pop culture references we love.

In the vampiric underworld of the city, we live in the shadows—grinding with sycophants in a cyclical dance of addiction. We give. We take. We can’t get enough love, lust or blood. And we’re always hungry for more.

PRESS REVIEW:

“This is a hauntingly beautiful track. She’s in the grip of something powerful, and doesn’t know how to escape it. In previous tracks, she was clearly operating from a standpoint of power. Now, she has been all but destroyed.” —Chuck Frey, Modern Synthpop, Wisconsin, Jan. 12, 2016, modernsynthpop.com/the-sweetest-condition-end-of-the-world-review/

lyrics

“This Poison” © The Sweetest Condition 2015
Lyrics by Leslie Irene Benson | Music by Jason Reed Milner

One story ends,
another begins.
Let’s hear your
testimony….

It’s inside our blood,
chosen by fate,
our hunger
to satiate.

I can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
of this poison.

Feels like a drug.
The damage is done.
I can’t outrun
this poison.

Chance played a role,
not yet revealed.
Made a mistake,
my fate was sealed.

I can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
of this poison.

Feels like a drug.
The damage is done.
I can’t outrun
this poison.

Now I know,
we share the blame.
All it cost
was my good name.

I can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
can’t get enough,
of this poison.

Feels like a drug.
The damage is done.
I can’t outrun
this poison.
