Poison Was The Cure

I miss the warm embrace I felt

First time you touched me

Secure and safe in open arms

I should have known you'd crush meA snake, you were when we met

I loved you anyway

Pulling out your poisoned fangs

The venom never goes awaySerpent swims free in my blood

Dragons sleeping in my veins

Jekyll speaking with tongue

Roach egg laying in my brainStalked beneath your shadow

Sleepwalking to the gallows

I'm the sun that beats your brow in

Till I finally threw the towel inNever knowing if I'd wake up

In a whirlpool, got redundant

My brain was just some driftwood

In a cesspool I became deadFrom a rock star to a desk fool

Was my destiny someone said

Life's a tide pool

Taste the waters, life's abundantTaste me
