ABSINTHE

I'm drinking poison and expecting you to die It's suffocating me, might not get out alive (fuck) It's coursing through my veins, an envy green so bright Intoxicating, all my senses amplified I'm holding onto anger with a clenched fist (ooh) Knuckles start to bleed from all the tension (ooh) Know that I should quit, but I get jealous (ooh) My mind is reckless (ooh) You're my absinthe You're twisted like dark magic You're glowing and the Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter When it hits, my vision flickers Absinthe You always leave me tragic One look at her, she's straight from hell She'll take you with her Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter It's no mystery you're bad for my health I only hate you 'cause I'm hating myself So I hitch a ride on a cursed carousel Next to all the other people who compete with themselves, yeah What would happen if I trusted myself? I used to be afraid, but I got stories to tell Even if they try to keep my songs on a shelf Behind smoke and mirrors, I'll bid you farewell Absinthe You're twisted like dark magic You're glowing and the Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter When it hits, my vision flickers Absinthe You always leave me tragic One look at her, she's straight from hell She'll take you with her Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter Absinthe Oh, my absinthe, oh Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter When it hits, my vision flickers Absinthe Oh, my absinthe, oh Straight from hell, she'll take you with her Absinthe makes the heart grow bitter
