Tenacity Against the Venom - Tartan and Velvet (Official Music Video)

Tenacity Against the Venom // lyrics by Ronin Grey, performed by Tartan and Velvet, 2026.


VERSE
You infiltrate
When I'm defenseless
Smoking your cigarette

Calm, in control
I guess it's easy when you
Blow the storm yourself

VERSE
There's no debate
You were just a test
Tried to make me a pet

Dragged me through hot coals
And now in my bed
Slowly try to engulf

CHORUS
But I'm not yours anymore
Emptied myself, how I adored you
Now you see that there's more
Of me for you to take
But I'm cutting you off, you snake

VERSE
A peaceful evening
Or so I thought, for tonight
Carried away by clouds

Your fangs shining
Piercing the dark, out of spite
Do you think there's a spark?

VERSE
You couldn't leave me
To be at rest, take your bite
And escape into the crowd

But you can't even see me
I'm not the man I was
And you can't have my heart

CHORUS
I'm not yours anymore
Emptied myself, how I adored you
Now you see that there's more
Of me for you to take
But I'm cutting you off, you snake

[IRENE GUITAR SOLO]

BRIDGE
I've built myself up
My girl's filling my life
You thought you smelled a meal
While you've lost your own appeal

When's the last time
You grew out of your skin?
You're stuck as the worm you are
But me, I'm going far

CHORUS
Oh, I'm not yours anymore
Emptied myself, how I adored you
Now you see that there's more
Of me for you to take
But I'm cutting you off, you snake

CHORUS
I'm not yours anymore
Emptied myself, how I adored you
Now you see that there's more
Of me for you to take
But I'm cutting you off, you snake

OUTRO
My heart's not stone anymore
Made of steel, you can't afford to
Take me on again, I'm beyond
Too tough for you, snake
I'm cutting you off
