Poison thoughts in my mind
Got to free myself from this bind
I know i'm a reasoning guy
In an act like jesus christ
Stare into the sun
You don't see eye to eye with anyone
I throw it all away (don't talk to me no more)
The more i think, the less i've got to say (i don't remember you no more)
About these poison years: it's just a memory
And every time you knock me down
It's all that i can do to get up off the ground
Pull myself apart again
At the end of this rope
Rope at the end of the line
I see you swing by your neck on a vine
Treason is the reason for my poison years
Leaves are changing seasons of my poison years
Poison years in my mind
Got to free myself from this bind
I know i'm a reasoning guy
Every time you knock me down
It's all that i can do to get up
To get up off the ground
