poison

[Verse 1: Miles Martinez]
Everyone’s laughing, I smile on cue
Wearing the mask they handed me too
I talk like them, walk like them, mimic the tone
But deep down I know I’m still alone
They sip on comfort like it’s wine
While I choke down silence just to buy some time

[Chorus: Miles Martinez]
I don’t belong here, but I can’t leave
Tied to the script they wrote for me
Trying to blend but the dye won’t stick
They pour me love, it just makes me sick
Their words taste sweet, but they feel like poison

[Verse 2: Miles Martinez]
They say I changed, but I never fit
Always the ghost inside the pic
I laugh too quiet, feel too much
Their version of me’s out of touch
I sit in rooms where I don't speak
Just nod my head and grit my teeth

[Chorus: Miles Martinez]
I don’t belong here, but I can’t leave
Tied to the script they wrote for me
Trying to blend but the dye won’t stick
They pour me love, it just makes me sick
Their words taste sweet, but they feel like poison

[Breakdown: Miles Martinez, Cameron Reid, & DawnRooney27]
Poison, poison, poison, poison
Poison, poison, poison, poison
Poison, poison, poison, poison
Poison, poison, poison, poison
Poison, poison, poison, poison

[Outro: Miles Martinez]
Still they cheer, still I stay
Swallowing slow, wasting away
