The Poison

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You are so young, and I guess I'm old

Open your eyes, and I'll keep mine close

I prefer standing, and you take a seat

I'll be wide awake and you'll be asleep

and you fall down a hole

that's the one place that we both know

you'd take me with you if you could but I wouldn't go

I guess at sometimes we both loose our minds

find a better road

I can be pensive, you can be so sure

you'll be the poison, you'll be the cure

I'm alone on the journey

Im alive none the less

and when you do your very worst mmm it feels the best

and you fall down a hole

that's the one place that we both know

you'd take me with you if you could but i wouldn't go

I guess at sometimes we both lose our minds

to find a better road

mmmmmmm

and you fall down a hole

that's the one place in this world that we wouldn't go

you'd take me with you if you could,

if you could I'd lose everything

can't you see their faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes

ooh their gonna keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind

look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?

that you tell yourself again a thousand times

and the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry

you wanna die, no

So you fall down a hole

that's the one place that we both know

you'd take me with you if you could but i wouldn't go

because sometimes we both lose our minds

find a better road
