I let you poison me
My soul, let you eat my soul until I was nothingness
Regurgitate it into a mess
I let you poison me with your malice, your faith
Poison me again and again
I'll let you
But you can't take my misery
That's all mine to keep
I won't let you take my silence
I'll scream out loud and proud
The depth is still there after you ripped out my heart with your razor sharp teeth
My rage is still too far for you to reach, it's in outer space where I should be, where I am
Poison me, leave me to wallow in it like a dead dog set on fire by your laughter and your unbridled shame
I think your happy is mine now
Poison me again and again
And like a bottle of pills I will take you in, but your placebo effect only gives me a little tickle
Poison me again I dare you
I won't defend or fight
I just might take flight into your dreams and nightmares
There I am in your mornings inside the pores of the sun and your nights inside the man in the moon, dancing around in your veins with my icy feet turning your blood so cold you get a chill and freeze to death
There I win
But I enjoyed the ride
It gave me a reason, a purpose to have fun.
Poison me again
I don't want this game to end.
Let me dine on, let me die in your poison again.
