Poison Was the Cure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known you'd crush me
[Verse 2]
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
[Verse 3]
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with my tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
[Bridge]
Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I'm the sun that beats your brow in
'Til I finally threw the towel in
[Verse 4]
Never knowing if I'd wake up, in a whirlpool, got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood in a cesspool, I became dead
From a rockstar to a desk fool was my destiny, someone said
Love's a tide pool, taste the water, life's abundant
Taste me!
[Guitar Solo: Dave Mustaine]
[Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman]
