Pick Your Poison

Running from yourself left you stranded
And now you're exactly where you never thought you would be
In the dark without a light to guide you
What once was a breath is now a gasp to survive

You left so much behind, so many questions unanswered
The other side, the crash to the burn
The fingers that picket for your solid satisfaction
Belong to the hands wrapped around your neck so tight

[Chorus]
You live today without a care
Tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
And there will come a time when you have so much
But there's so little that you can touch
And still I consider you a friend

For every temporary sucker that's in place that you need
Is another cry for you to return
You've been there, you've been square but nothing in between
Now it's time to find those who are looking for you tonight

[Chorus]
You live today without a care
Tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
And there will come a time when you have so much
But there's so little that you can touch
And still I consider you a friend

It's hard to accept
But there's people that don't care
In a world so cold
And they seem unfair

But you've got to realize you have a purpose
And it's not through your nose that you can see the light
When I was scared you picked me up
You told me never to forget that I'll be there by your side

So here I am, we've gone too far
And it's been a long time since we've been at peace
We followed a part but I still know
That behind the mask is a familiar face, it's you

[Chorus]
You live today without a care
Tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
And there will come a time when you have so much
But there's so little that you can touch
And still I consider you a friend
