Poison

I can't keep you off my mind
I lie awake throughout the night
But I know your grip will drag me to my doom

You were the poison in my veins
I thought your venom kept me sane
Now i'm lost without your generous abuse

And now I know it can't go on
I see the person I've become
I stepped back to find some relief
I won't play the victim to all of your grief

All this time I looked beyond
All the damage you had done

Now I see the truth, I'm on the other side
There's no hope for me if you're by my side
I didn't want to go on, it felt so hard to let go
Now I'm myself again, I'll walk this path alone

But I still feel you crawl inside
Your memory won't seem to die
I feel your burden on my chest
This is a curse I must accept

Don't let yourself be blinded by the dark
Life is a gift, respect your beating heart
It's so much easier to just give in
You have a choice, don't let your demons win

Poison

I can't keep you off my mind
I lie awake throughout the night
But I know your grip will drag me to my doom

You were the poison in my veins
I thought your venom kept me sane
Now i'm lost without your generous abuse

And now I know it can't go on
I see the person I've become
I stepped back to find some relief
I won't play the victim to all of your grief

Now I see the truth, I'm on the other side
There's no hope for me if you're by my side
I didn't want to go on, it felt so hard to let go
Now I'm myself again, I'll walk this path alone

But I still feel you crawl inside
Your memory won't seem to die
I feel your burden on my chest
This is a curse I must accept
