Poison

Tarnished with the bitterness at these chains of restraint, at the daggers you leave in me, baby, tell me what to do. My heart's kicking, rusted love, acidic tears scream into skin and I'm supposed to keep breathing only ever for you. I am nauseous with your drug, I am dying on these small doses, craving riots within me, baby, I'm no longer strong. Scars allure me, dark temptation, your brand singed inside of me and I'm sure that I should run away but you tell me I'm wrong. This love is poison, ivy tendrils wind around me, there's no room. Hypnotised by your heartbeat, darling, boom, boom, boom. I am nothing in the shadows that plague me in between, voices haunt me, I start fading, baby, why can't you set me free? Fibres of denial weaving blankets that wrap over my mouth, suffocating, I start hating because you're controlling me. Haunted by the memories they creep on sighs, old lullabies, I'm swaying to the rhythm, baby, insulated by each lie. Beneath the layers I still struggle, ghost words choke but no one hears and I watch with hollow eyes, you won't let me say goodbye. This love is poison, ivy tendrils wind around me, there's no room. Hypnotised by your heartbeat, darling, boom, boom, boom. I am faking, I am breaking, darling, boom, boom, BOOM.
