Name your Poison

name your poison, boy, for you'll i'll get it.
anything you want i can hunt it down.
you light my fire; i thought i was burnt out forever,
but you reignited all of my desires.
it might be a mistake to let you in.
i could be setting myself up for another bad end,
but name your poison, boy, and i'll make me your best friend.

i'll search high and low for whatever floats your boat.
you got me wanting you and it's never enough.
i haven't felt this alive in years.
all you do has me going crazy.
this could be the best or the worst love ever,
but i won't know until i get you where i want you.
name your poison, boy, and i can fulfill it.

every dream you ever had is my command.
you'll never want us to end.
we'll be the love that goes on and on like the song that never ends.
all of our friends will be so jealous.
name your poison, boy, and we can have it all.

vices are a part of life; you've become mine.
if i'm yours then we have all we need to survive.
we'll lay on the bed just drinking each other in.
i'll never be full and you'll never drink again.
we can build our own ivy tower; let the fools try to tear us down.
as long as i'm your poison, boy, it won't do them any good!

Drink It Away

i abandoned my pants in the hallway;
the contents of my stomach are in the toilet.
my body is trying to get this poison out of me, but i don't quit.
i want the alcohol to bring me oblivion.
i'm going to drink it away.

the thoughts slow down to one at a time.
my mind is wrapped up in a warm fog.
i see but i don't feel.
i take another shot to kill all the pain i got.
i'm going to drink it away.

the days and nights pass me by in a haze.
my compulsions to touch you are buried under booze.
if i begin to move, i pour one more.
one day i won't need this crutch.
one day i'll drink away the memory of your touch.

you are all i think about.
you are consuming me.
you told me i hurt you, but you hurt me too.
we were pure, but i always feel dirty.
i got jealous and tired of being runner up to her.
i'm going to drink it away.

this rejection burns as i swallow another one down.
my desire's flame is being doused by the whiskey's sting.
why'd i let you in because now i can't get you out.
i feel like i'm bleeding to death.
life is love and love is pain.
i will drink it away!

Sweet Poison

it's okay, just let the pain wash you away.
feel the waves of agony crashing over your brain.
it's not as bad as it could be,
let the sweet poison course through your veins until you're empty of pain.

you watch the days pass you by one by one.
there's always another setting sun to come.
you get out of bed less and less.
your hair is always a mess.
you're praying for an escape that never comes.
all around you others move along and you wish you could do the same,
but here you are right where you've always been.

time is stealing everything from you;
your youth, health, family and chances for happiness have all walked out the door.
you'd hoped for so much more,
so take your sweet poison and sink down into the pillows.
the dreams are calling your name and life sucks when you're awake.
life is full of loss and pain.
every day you let the sweet poison take you away is a better day.

it's okay, not every one can win the fight between good and evil.
so let your ideas slide into oblivion.
your battle is more internal.
you brace yourself for all the bad to come.
somehow there's always more.
you run around in circles thinking you're fooling someone into thinking you're a mover,
but all you've done is look ridiculous to everyone.
take a bow and leave it alone,
let the sweet poison carry you home.

tomorrow brings another chance to fuck it up and you'll succeed
in the one way you desperately wish you would fail.
go home and take your sweet poison to feel better.
all your worries and fears will disappear.
you'll relax and be empty,
so empty you'll think you've floated away,
but you'll come down and realize you never left the ground.

Poison in The Air

The harder I cling to life
The slippery the slope becomes.
I'm never safe.
Not at home.
Not in bed.
I fall closer to hell with
Every breath I take.

The air is poison.
The sky is smothering me.
I hear noises when nothing's there.
My imagination works against me.
I'll never be a legend.

I'll be forgotten as soon as I'm gone.
Just rotting away in the ground.
