The Poison

You crawl through my bones and skin Shake me from within Tainted is my root of being This is where my hopes lie in Swallow this abusing thing Testing my will to live Can you hear this voice within my veins The odds are running low I'm trying all today Standing at the crossroads Of my own demise Still breathing today I won't let this poison get me No matter what life you lead There's always something That can hit you in the face Yesterday I went so wild Just yesterday the world seemed fine Can I stand the anguish And I lost all my prudence But then I remind me of the things And all that it's worth to try for I'm trying all today Standing at the crossroads of my own demise Still breathing today I won't let this poison get me
