Poisonous

[Hook]
Breathe in, no time for sleeping
Feel your breath upon my skin
Till you cradle me and lay me down
And feel your poison sinking in

[Genesis]
You never know do you?
When that moment's gonna strike
Think you got it figured out
Never knowing what it's like
And the stress'll eat at you, laying there beside them
Cause you can't imagine life with no one else besides them
Then one day shit flips, you see things start to change
They're quick to call you crazy but you know you're not deranged
Cause in a way, you'rе the same, you've also playеd that game
But in this case? It's a shame, cause your heart was finally tamed
So now you're at a point where the truth came to light
And your mind's on overload, heart stuck on fight or flight
Now everything's a question, did they ever truly care?
Got you doubting love again for thinking this was something rare
I think that part's the worst, putting somebody else first
Just to feel your heart burst, watching them drive your hearse
Poisonous is not enough to describe them in a breath
And all this venom that they left is slowly eating you to death

[Hook]
Breathe in, no time for sleeping
Feel your breath upon my skin
Till you cradle me and lay me down
And feel your poison sinking in

[Tim Jones]
Love's a bitch, it's a double edged sword dipped in arsenic
Disguised as dark hair, ripped jeans and red lipstick
Mixed with venomous expressions projecting aggression
From guilt built by bad intention and obsession
Preconceived habits are tragic
Why can't I see that no amount of self love or weed can heal me
From the animosity that I previously received
So I say to thee, what's the end to the means
My heart is fractured my capture with self loathing being a factor
I thought I'd be pushing daises in a pasture
You get no satisfaction till of my anger you get a fracture
It's a chemical reaction from your verbal attacking
That for some reason I'm attracted to
I couldn't see the red flags through my rose tinted shades
I also didn't find out what love was until I met you
And now
I can finally get some sleep at the end of my days

[Hook]
Breathe in, no time for sleeping
Feel your breath upon my skin
Till you cradle me and lay me down
And feel your poison sinking in

[Outro]
Let us not be consumed by the evil people spread
It's not worth your piece of mind to let them live inside your head
I've been so caught up before
Overthinking what was said
Now looking back? I should've laughed and brushed it off instead
You see everybody spews venom, don't let them tell you otherwise
Only difference with the snakes, is for them it's normalized
So don't blame yourself for scars that others left behind
And don't ever be ashamed cause they're the proof that you survived

[Hook]
Breathe in, no time for sleeping
Feel your breath upon my skin
Till you cradle me and lay me down
And feel your poison sinking in
