Poison (Acoustic)

The doctor told me something's wrong with my head But if we can rightly mend You won't be the same in the end In my state, I had no care to complain Take away the hurt Let the medicine do its work Maybe this poison in me Could heal my heart If taken as prescribed Morning, noon, and night The lines upon my face, they are battle scars From the toxic in my blood This lithium flood Saved the mind, ravaged body, what of soul? All I have are cautious words Lips faded and broke Maybe the poison I am Could heal your heart If taken as prescribed Every day and night There is no venom in my sting Consume the Ashes of crumbling mountains in my wake And learn the Price you pay for holding it in The gaze of a man with no pain left to mend And a visage of cracked skin and marks overwhelmed Lest you might need To take that poison in you To steal your heart If taken as prescribed Through endless light and dark
