Poison Was The Cure

  • I miss the warm embrace I felt
    First time you touched me
    Secure and safe in open arms
    I should have known you'd crush me

    A snake you were when me met
    I loved you anyway
    Pulling out your poisoned fangs
    The venom never goes away

    Serpent swims free in my blood
    Dragons sleeping in my veins
    Jackyl speaking with tongue
    Roach egg laying in my brain
    Once stalked beneath your shadow
    Sleepwalking to the gallows
    I'm the sun that beats your brow in
    'Til I finally threw the towel in
    Never knowing if I'd wake up in a whirlpool got redundant
    My brain was just some driftwood in a cesspool, I became dead
    From a rock star to a desk fool was my destiny, someone said
    Love's a tidepool, taste the waters, life's abundant
    Taste me Writer/s: DAVE MUSTAINE
