It runs through my veins
The poison is in my blood
Its been there since I was born
It will always be there
The poison is the strongest in me
I'm the offspring of poison
Just the slightest contact with my DNA can put you in danger
The poison doesn't come from one like they claim
The poison comes from both sides
My blood is completely contaminated
My whole life is toxic
Being around me is like walking through a field of poison gas
One step into that field and you're already at risk
If you continue on you're most likely dead
I've grown tolerant to the poison over time
I've had to
I live in it
It's in me
I try to protect others by keeping them away
But when they push through I keep them around
But a shield is always there
Is the shield for them or for me?
Once it's broken
They don't find poison
They find someone who's been poisoned
They find someone who's afraid of poisoning others
They find someone who's cracked
You can see the poison slipping through
You can see the mends that have been attempted
You can see the duck tape, stitches and the scars
But they won't be seen for long
The shield will rebuild
The next time you see me I'll look like the finest China
The cracks will be covered again
And I'll be trying my best to keep the poison from escaping again
If you're worried about toxic you might want to leave
I rather not kill you with my poison
You won't last long unless you also become immune
I hope you stay long enough to be immune
