The Ashes of Tomorrow - Pick Your Poison текст песни

You’re venomous, a nemesis to all my thoughts
You cannot settle this, a benefit for no one’s cause
A pessimist, genetically inherited envy
Plenty to tear into, continue where you heavily dropped
You cannot readily stop after gaining momentum
Your fangs are buried deep in arteries releasing your venom
Bending words, breaking backs, slipping through the cracks
Now relapse, get a grasp, take in words and retract
Balance the silence with each scream in your head
And promise me we’ll never have to live through this again
Self entitlement, I’m violent out of spite
Could never keep away, you’re keeping me alive
Too bad you never could move back
Time making us lose track, too fast, cannot choose paths
Can’t react, but I’m past the fact I can’t
Counteract until these words become an artifact
You’re killing me, your words are like a knife to my throat
I lock myself inside my room, tied to my bed with a rope
You’re killing me, I’m filling up with ash in my lungs
I need a taste, I need little bit of you on my tongue
You’re killing me unwillingly, and I can’t adjust
I need to wait, but I need my fix before my liver erupts
I need the rush, like a needle I can stick in my vein
My head is wary and I’m fearing that I’m going insane
Balance the silence with each scream in your head
And promise me we’ll never have to live through this again
The life drains from my lungs without a taste
But you would take it all from me anyway
Too bad you never could move back
Time making us lose track, two months and you’re not back
Can’t react, but I’m past the fact I can’t
Counteract until these words become an artifact
You picked yours
You picked yours
You weren’t intoxicated enough to drink more
You picked yours
I couldn’t pick mine
You were my mistake repeated enough times
You picked yours
You picked yours
You weren’t intoxicated enough to drink more
You picked yours
I couldn’t pick mine
You were my mistake repeated too many times
Intoxicated, an addict in denial
Abandoned you but it’s like you like left me on my own
Mind is spiralling, chest is tightening
Isolated, just waiting to break the cycle
It started as a habit just to fill the void
Now you’re lying on your back and I’m paranoid
Dream all you want and drink a little bit more
But in the end it won’t settle the score
I’ll never settle for more
You picked your poison thinking fate was the end
You swear you strayed from the way I would take, mistakenly sent
Intoxicating, the thrill’s exhilarating
Take a hit, invigorating, I love it but I’m sick of waiting for it You picked yours
You picked yours
You weren’t intoxicated enough to drink more
You picked yours
I couldn’t pick mine
You were my mistake repeated enough times
You picked yours
You picked yours
You weren’t intoxicated enough to drink more
Dream all you want and drink a little bit more
But in the end it won’t settle the score
I’ll never settle for more
