Poison

I can hear the shadow come

living amoung our tainted hearts

it will sink into your mind

attracted to all of these damaged parts

 

when you see this simple start

to a tragic end that's yet to come

you must fight with all your might

you time has yet to come

 

when you stare into the empty mist

can you see yourself in the headlight?

it pulls you into it so you are lost

you are lost

 

why oh why can't you recognize

when your heart is not your own

it gets so hard to realize

when it seeps into your bones

 

I think I've lost my tragic end

I see a light now but it's warm and bright

this ancient recipe for pain and gain

will only see you through for a small part

 

The rest is up to you

when you start to see

It kills you from the bottom up

It can't be hard to see

sitting there right in front of you

can't be hard to see

 

 

why oh why can't you recognize

when your heart is not your own

it gets so hard to realize

when it seeps into your bones

 

I know I see you sitting there

but you are not alone

your mind is filled with such despair

you are not alone

 

I cry- and you hear

and you tell me it's an act

am I an actress

in a movie?

Should I know these lines?
