Poison

A friend and I wrote this together

Poison seeps through our souls, we can barely breathe anymore
The poison runs through my veins and screams in my blood
We sleep restlessly each night, wondering who will strike their next move
How they've got the nerve to hand out the drug
Is beyond my comprehension
No antidote in sight I'm giving out my last breath
There is no light to show...what was my life
Hold me up and push me down, worthless and reckless was the way it went
Now I've got nothing left to vogue for except this last breath
This poison dazzled like fireworks and eventually came down
Now all that's seen is darkness and I'm lost without a sound
Mistakes were made, hope was lost and done
The poison left is my only reminder
Of what was, and what will be no more
All my fears were pushed away but now have come to stay
All my reasons to believe are gone and now I'm left with broken shells of the past
Nothing left to hide behind, our masks have been removed and revealed
Who we truly are deep inside
A hollow space that lies in the back of our twisted minds
Lightning strikes in the heart, sends shocks through the soul
Thunder booms in our minds of these empty times
Come justify their distorted ways and lead us into a new destiny
Let the poison seep out in gentle flows to end our silenced pains
For time won't forgot until ignorance becomes bliss
Explosions tick down and destroy my mind
A world once colorful goes down to a black and white film
