Poison Soul

[Verse 1]
There’s something dark and ugly growing inside
I won’t pretend that I am in the right
It’s getting worse every bitter day
Part of the fall as I stand ashamed

So until I figure how to change

[Chorus]
Stand back I’m a poison soul
A foot in heaven, a foot in hell
Stand back I’m a poison soul
I drink from the poison well
But I’m sick of feeling sorry for myself
Stand back I’m a poison soul

[Verse 2]
A raging animal lives in my chest
Pounding the time, holding me hostage
Just want everyone to understand
I’m trying hard, doing what I can
The underacheiving everyman

[Bridge]
This isn’t how the story ends
It’s dark in the middle, but the light comes in
The choice is mine to carry on or wave the flag

Lord, I know that you see it all
So you can see I have a fatal flaw… you know
I want perfection in a box tied with a bow

[Chorus]
Stand back I’m a poison soul
A foot in heaven, a foot in hell
Stand back I’m a poison soul
I drink from the poison well
(I feel so sorry for myself)
But I’m sick of feeling sorry for myself
Stand back I’m a poison soul

Stand back I'm a poison
Stand back I'm a poison
(I feel so sorry for myself)
Stand back I'm a poison soul

Stand back I'm a poison soul
