The Poison

[Verse 1]

The poison makes its way through my body slowly

Into the pleasure centers of my brain

If you were here I would admit that I'm an asshole

But now its over and I can't stay sober

Though it isn't like I tried

[Verse 2]

And on the front porch or on an airplane on vacation

Or out for dinner in a nearby town

I was so proud just to have you sitting with me

But now it's over and I can't stay sober

Pour and swallow, follow one shot with another

I'll keep on 'till you agree to come back over

Or until there are X's on my eyes

[Verse 3]

My old man always swore that Hell would have no flame

Just a front row seat

To watch your true love pack her things and drive away
