Poison

  Take a shot
Without a thought
Pour your life down the drain
The chemicals go to your brain
The pounding in your blood
As your lungs fill up
With words of regret
And you start to forget
The tears in your eyes
And the endless cries
Is all you can hear
So take time to prepare

Don't let your life waste away
Don't keep asking for another way
To try me make the pain disappear
So don't you go and cheer
Don't go and take the crown
From the one who keeps you down

Another day another glass
Another way to make time pass
Another mistake to be made
Another bill to be paid
Another soul that was forgotten
In this poison we call heaven
The tears in your eyes
And the endless cries
Is all you can hear
So take time to prepare

Don't let your life waste away
Don't keep asking for another way
To try me make the pain disappear
So don't you go and cheer
Don't go and take the crown
From the one who keeps you down

Because the reality at the end of today
Is you go and drink yourself into disarray
People watch and are amazed
That you are wasting your time
And digging an early grave
Go away and leave me if you please
But don't come crying back to me

So go waste your life away
So go and ask for another way
To try and make the pain disappear
So go and scream and cheer
Go and take the fucking crown
From me who tried to keep you down
