don’t drink the poison

i never used
i was clean
until i met you
couldn’t break loose
drinking poison every day

there’s more than one way to lose your life
hanging on to an idea of what it’s supposed to be
will take you down
when you can’t breathe
you drown

dig your own grave
for soon you won’t have energy
climb down into the depths
save yourself some time
lay it down now

save yourself before it’s too late
God’s not coming
even though you cry and pray
waiting for salvation seals your fate

there’s more than one way to lose your life
hanging on to what it’s supposed to be
believing you can make it right
when you signed on for a nightmare
wrapped up in a beautiful dream

i drank my poison everyday
thinking being deprived was because of me
he must have an issue i can solve
a wound i can love him through
