The Poison

It's not just a pain
A pain in my back
That laughs in my face
My face every night on the poison that took my lungs
Keeps me from feeling warm
But how could a rooftop-view in London
Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
And I can't see so good
And there's gotta be more
Much more than this
I got pages of dreams covered in piss
And a poison that took my soul
It keeps me from feeling anything
And I could've rooftoped you in London
You're just the same as one in Brooklyn
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
And I can't see so good
And now I fight with the words
And now I fight with the words
And now I fight with the words
But I could've rooftoped you in London
You're just the same as one in Brooklyn
Nothing is safe but now but now I fight with the words
And I can't see so good
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good)
And I can't see so good (I can't see so good)
And I can't see so good
