Poison Heart

No one ever thought
This one would survive
Helpless child gone a walk
Clunking behind
Lock you in a dream
Never let you go
Never let you laugh
Or smile, not you

I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart

Making friends with homeless
Torn up man
He just kind of smiles
And really shakes me up
There's danger on every corner
But I'm okay
Walking back the streets
Trying to forget yesterday

I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart

Life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction
Is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion
Before my eyes
Nothing seems to faze me
And this one still survives

I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just wanna walk
Right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart

A poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart
A poison heart
