I have this art project I'm working on. The story behind it is like... you are innocent and carefree when suddenly you meet something that seduces you into corruption. I need a title, like a descriptive word. I have some examples:
Weaken
Venom
Poison
Devour
Bite
Quiver
Ripping
Inject
Or a phrase like "into my veins" or something...
Those words just give you that "poisoned apple" feeling. I've come up with those, but none of them seem adequate.

These ideas sound like some of the concepts you are after:
Lured
Tempted
Hooked
Betrayed
Betrayal
Innocence Lost
Innocence Betrayed
Hook, Line and Sunk
However, I actually like the one you suggested the best and would like to make a case for using it:
into my veins
That just creeps me out. It gives me the impression of a willful, self-inflicted, self-destructive, drug-related act that is so misguided it could only happen through some overpowering seductive influence. I like it not being capitalized, too because it makes it less a "title" and more an image. Not capitalized also gives me some sense of the innocence you are after without using innocence sounding words. As a capitalized title, it is much more bold, brazen and dramatic. Also, the phrase without capitals seems to be taken from the middle of a sentence or thought; it gives the impression there is something before and after it that you would like to find out.
I don't really see any other answers that grab me like this one you have already come up with. And, the great thing about it is that you came up with it which really makes this art project ALL yours.
Good luck.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree, That may not be bad and it is also a legal phrase. :)

Try 'Adam and the Snake'. A Bible is helpful.
