Oh what you all must think of me now When my heart sinks and my lips part to form a scream Though I know No noise comes out With all my mistakes I often lust for leaving Long for drowning To wash away the permanent headache Sending waves of humiliation Through my entire frame I often replay every wrong word I said Second guess my second guesses Try to retract my misplaced reactions Settle scores I've carved against my own skin Determined to paint over this portrait This ugly depiction I feel so low that I dream of dying Just to erase the slate that haunts me I hate this familiar basement of friendship, where your words are twisted and your intentions misrepresented. Everyone leaves me -again, saying I am poisonous. And a very deep part of me believes that Maybe I am. Poisonous. And after so many times, How can I not begin to question, Is it's truly me or Or is it them?

Poisonous
Oh what you all must think of me now When my heart sinks and my lips part to form a scream Though I know No noise comes out With all my mistakes I often lust for leaving Long for drowning To wash away the permanent headache Sending waves of humiliation Through my entire frame I often replay every wrong word I said Second guess my second guesses Try to retract my misplaced reactions Settle scores I've carved against my own skin Determined to paint over this portrait This ugly depiction I feel so low that I dream of dying Just to erase the slate that haunts me I hate this familiar basement of friendship, where your words are twisted and your intentions misrepresented. Everyone leaves me -again, saying I am poisonous. And a very deep part of me believes that Maybe I am. Poisonous. And after so many times, How can I not begin to question, Is it's truly me or Or is it them?
The pain of friends turning their backs to you. How insecure that makes you feel about who you are as person.
