Shadows underneath us
Ah, uh
And if I leave without a reason
Would you crawl back to the deep end?
Ah
I've seen it happen again and again and again
I only wish that you weren't my friend
So I could hurt you in the end
And ever since the day you came around
I'm a prisoner and there's nothing I can do
Not a thing to get you out
You're the venom in my veins
You've got me howling in your chains
I get in fights without a reason
In trouble with my demons
Ah, yeah
And I'm a punk throughout the seasons
I can't believe that you don't see it
Ah
I've seen it happen again and again and again
I never make amends
I only wish that you weren't my friend
So I could hurt you in the end
And ever since the day you came around
I'm a prisoner and there's nothing I can do
Not a thing to get you out
You're the venom in my veins
You've got me howling in your chains
You're my venom, venom, venom
And since the day you came around
I'm a prisoner
And there's nothing I can do
Not a thing to get you out, uh
You're the venom in my vein
The venom in my veins
You're the venom in my veins
You've got me howling in your chains
You're the venom in my veins
The poison in my blood
The poison in my blood

What if I told you that I need you
Imagine if I were to confess that I depend on you
Shadows underneath us
Difficulties lurking beneath the surface
And if I leave without a reason
If I were to depart without explanation
Would you crawl back to the deep end?
Would you return to the intense and troubling situation?
I've seen it happen again and again and again
I have witnessed this recurring pattern numerous times
I never make amends
I never seek reconciliation
I only wish that you weren't my friend
I desire you not to be my companion
So I could hurt you in the end
So that I could inflict pain upon you eventually
And ever since the day you came around
From the moment you entered into my life
I'm a prisoner and there's nothing I can do
I feel trapped with no means of escape
Not a thing to get you out
Unable to remove you from my mind
You're the venom in my veins
You are the toxic substance coursing through my bloodstream
You've got me howling in your chains
You have bound me tightly and made me express my pain
I get in fights without a reason
I engage in conflicts without cause
In trouble with my demons
Struggling with my personal demons
And I'm a punk throughout the seasons
I maintain a rebellious attitude irrespective of the circumstances
I can't believe that you don't see it
I find it hard to accept that you fail to perceive this
You're my venom, venom, venom
You are the source of my poison, my poison, my poison
And since the day you came around
Since the day you entered into my life
I'm a prisoner
I am confined
And there's nothing I can do
And I am powerless to change it
Not a thing to get you out, uh
No possible way to free myself from you
You're the venom in my vein
You are the toxic influence within me
The venom in my veins
The harmful substance coursing through my blood
You're the venom in my veins
You are the toxic presence within me
You've got me howling in your chains
You have me crying out while being enslaved by you
You're the venom in my veins
You are the poisonous element within me
The poison in my blood
The destructive toxin flowing through my veins
The poison in my blood
The noxious substance contaminating my life

Rasmussen the great
@Xan Peria yes. I agree 100%. Such hard choice. And i also impressed 2022 was most strong year for some years. also reminds the Eesti Laul 2017 both by entries and by quality of national contest.
Ohh. I worry: how to select that no one of artists been offended:
Elysa vs Sissi( i want one of them on the ESC because we already know the both are so talented and will do cool staging, but we have selected the others. Stefan instead of Elysa in 2022 and Uku instead of Sissi in 2021 ).
Alika vs Janek ( both songs have serious benefit: orchestral part and powerful arrangement with hypnotizing voice )
Andreas vs Annet x Freddie ( different genres, but so right and similar essense of nostalgic vibe and tune. Andreas reminds me something of Britain pop from 70's or 80's and Chris Norman a little ).
Ollie vs BedWetters ( ofc Ollie is better, but BedWetters have super rock riffs too and moreover the cool freak theme. It could be bring high result like it's happened with Lordi )
Ellip vs Merilyn( both entries are so sexy what is hard to find that benefit in other songs ).
Maiko vs Kaw( both entries are non-English and very attractive by uniqueness )
Yes. That's it. I'm messing up 😂.

This is the type of music Eurovision needs. It's a shame we won't hear it in May. Greetings from Finland

I have to try not to enjoy it too much, cuz then it just makes me pissed that it didn't make the actual contest 😂😭 I fail miserably every time

Gutted this didn't win... Ollie is insane live, liked it even better than the studio version. He would've rocked the stage in Liverpool. Please try again next year, Mister, Europe is missing out on you :(
Silver Snowstorm
Agreed
Stork Mastur

Mariam Mora

If this gets to eurovision it'll be the most authentic and best heavy rock song it's ever had.
