What’s Your Poison?

[Verse 1]
Let me know how to move when I walk with you
So I’m not stumbling over my words, I’ve hovered
Here in the clouds just to talk to you
That concept - it may seem absurd
I’ve watched brothers play in the valleys and sisters climb mountains just to be on even land
And I’ve watched mothers look for fathers at the bottom of shot glasses
And accept that some things I just won’t understand
There’s an acceptance of failure in the moment that we won’t acknowledge
Why? I don’t know
Looking out along the vast variables of living
I see it's in our destiny that we continue to grow
The concrete beneath our feet plays bridge to a destination unknown
And I’ve lost much sleep along this path
But found a much needed rest in each of my poems

[Chorus]
So what’s your poison? Showbiz or cubicle?
Life or death, we all gotta choose one
Some choose to scavenge around in darkness
While I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun
So what’s your poison?
Tell me what’s your poison

[Verse 2]
Let me know how to speak when I’m in your presence
We all gotta learn that sometime
There’s a fine line between a smile and a cry
And I’ve walked that fine line blind too many times
Open the door and be a neighbor
‘cause there’s absolutely no hope in regret
Fear seems to have an appetite that never quite ends
And I only have wilted wild flowers left
With my own eyes, I’ve seen tomorrow
And it’s there, you just gotta hold out your hands
Keep trying but if you fall off the cliff while tiptoeing the edge
I’m sure the rest of the world will understand
And who are you to make them be something more than who they wanna be?
A house of cards will topple soon
I’ve sat here and watched you roam in circles for weeks
Stargazing and having private talks with the moon
There has never been a time so now within a life so grand and full
Too much of our effort is spent on the meaningless
Unbeknownst to most, we have so much to lose

[Chorus]
So what’s your poison? Showbiz or cubicle?
Life or death, we all gotta choose one
Some choose to scavenge around in darkness
While I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun
So what’s your poison?
What’s your poison?
Tell me what’s your poison
What’s your poison?
I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun
