Darling, The Dose

(Album: BOOK - 2021)

Hamlet's dad
He got it bad
They sent him off stage right
Now we're here and stuck my dear
No antidote in sight

Venom and nightshade and strychnine's done in some
Antifreeze and hives of bees or just a gallon of rum

Make no mistake
I still need you the most
Time has the power
To bind us too close
The dose is the poison
We've had more than most

Darling
Darling

For three long years we've walked alone
Walked underneath this cloud
So shake that rain outta your bad ear
And hear what I say out loud

Yushchenko and Rasputin did not foresee their fate
Socrates and Hercules figured out too late

Make no mistake
I still need you the most
Time has the power
To bind us too close
The dose is the poison
We've had more than most
Darling

Hearts are unbroken
And in the right place
Time's in reverse till you fall out of step
The dose is the poison
In this pillowcase
Darling
Darling
