Poison

(album: Halloween - 2016)

I hear footsteps in the hall every night
And there's a shadow underneath my door
There's a hole punched through the wall
Are you happy now?

Your memory cuts into my day
It buries all my nights away
Thinking of you is like digging my own grave
You're my poison now

You still come
When you need someone to love
Or you need a hand to touch
Threw my face down in the mud

Watch me fall
Till I'm crawling on my knees
Till my fingers crack and bleed
And you've taken every part of me

You're my poison now
You're my poison now
Can I drain every drop of you out?
Cause all that you are is poison

It's not because I'm left alone to wonder why
Or what became of the heart that was shaped so much by mine
Even now that I'm a stranger in your eyes
That's not what tears me down

It's how you made my worst of days never seem as grey
It's remembering your mouth and the way it tastes
It's rosemary beach on a sunny day
Yeah that's my poison now

Cause you still call
When you need someone to love
Or you need a hand to touch
Threw my face down in the mud

And watch me fall
Till I'm broken and I'm weak
Till I'm crawling on my knees
And you've taken every part of me

You're my poison now
You're my poison now
Can I drain every drop of you out?
Cause all that you are is poison

Yeah, poison
Baby
Woah...

I hope there will come a time in your life
That light comes back and it shines through your eyes
And no one by then will see you enough to find
What won't be found

Cause while you're running through this world
So fucking blind
I'm gonna be running free with my arms open wide
For the first time, in such a long time
I can say I'm happy now
I'm happy now
I'm happy now...

Don't you call
And tell me you're still in love
That you miss me way too much
Well you can never see how deep they made us fall

And turn the flower into a weed
And the lover into a thief
That has stolen my life from me
I won't be poisoned now
I won't be poisoned now
And I will drain every drop of you out

Cause all that you are to me
All that you were to me
All you still are...
Is poison
You're poison...
Are you happy now?
