Locked behind a dam of tears

And with a river of blood flowin’ all behind me,

I still can’t concentrate, not even on my own survival

You may have caused all these problems, all this bloodshed, all this Hell

But love still prevails, even if it ails

And through all of this, I fell for you and made the worst mistake of my life.

(-)

You’re poison.

You’re untouchable,

Guarded from the very core of your own existence;

You’re deadly,

Like that knife thrown through the air that’s surely killin’ me;

You’re addictive,

I can feel your presence slowly coursing through my veins,

And it’s making me fall further than I’ve ever been before.

You’re poison.

(-)

You told me once that if I ever wanted you, I’d only have to speak

And when I spoke those words for you, I was condemned.

(-)

And even though I was only speakin’ my feelings aloud,

They all turned their backs on me as I spoke tales of love,

But you, my dear, turned your nose and looked down at me

And in one word you spoke my guilt; you spoke my sentence

But love may still prevail, even if it ails.

So I still sat and smiled at you, as you locked me up and threw away the key.

(-)

Yes, you’re poison.

You’re untouchable,

Guarded from the very core of your own existence;

You’re deadly,

Like that knife thrown through the air that’s surely killin’ me;

You’re addictive,

I can feel your presence slowly coursing through my veins,

And it’s making me fall further than I’ve ever been before.

You’re poison.

(-)

You told me once that if I ever wanted you, I’d only have to speak

And when I spoke those words for you, I was condemned.

(-)

Then they’ll all come at me, the one who dared to fraternize,

Then they’ll all see my crimson tears, my crystal blood, my reddened eyes

But it’ll never matter and I’ll still be punished for all eternity;

I’ll be screaming in agony, I’ll be screaming in pain; it’ll all fall on deaf ears

Will my love prevail, or will it do nothin’ more than ail?

And I’ll sit up and proclaim that love, lyin’ there while you stab me in the back.

(-)

‘Cuz you’re poison.

You’re untouchable,

(I was condemned)

Guarded from the very core of your own existence;

You’re deadly,

(I was condemned)

Like that knife thrown through the air that’s surely killin’ me;

You’re addictive,

(I was condemned)

I can feel your presence slowly coursing through my veins,

And it’s making me fall further than I’ve ever been before.

You’re poison.

(You’re my poison.)
