We keep putting words into each other's mouths We choke ourselves with smoke that came out of our heads as we get each other's dander up We smother ourselves with so much self-blame We drown ourselves in the tears that we cried away from each other's sight We wish to hand each other roses but their thorns sinks deep into our fleshes instead We cup each other's mouths as we try to speak our minds We love too deep that we barely even notice the poison we're handing each other We love too deep that we barely even notice how badly we're doing it

The Poison We Fail to Notice
We keep putting words into each other's mouths We choke ourselves with smoke that came out of our heads as we get each other's dander up We smother ourselves with so much self-blame We drown ourselves in the tears that we cried away from each other's sight We wish to hand each other roses but their thorns sinks deep into our fleshes instead We cup each other's mouths as we try to speak our minds We love too deep that we barely even notice the poison we're handing each other We love too deep that we barely even notice how badly we're doing it
it's the wrong kind of love, but we're both too scared to let go
