POISON ME LYRICS


Call my name 
Call my name without regret 
and I’ll be on my way 

What are we doing here? 
Why are you asking me? 
This red color from the line 
A strange sense of sympathy? 
I cannot be one with them 
so I’m standing by your side 
Torn between what’s real and binding 
as those scenes keep rewinding 
All I can say and do is surrender to the guilt 
that it puts me through 

I am the poison fountain 
I am the poison seed 
I love to poison you 
You love the poison me 

Beware this twilight creature 
This demon of the night 
Feed off its energy 
Breathe in its frightening dream 
Now I am one with them 
No longer by your side 
Sit back and hold on tight 
Get ready for the ride 
All I can say and do is surrender to this misery 
that it puts me through 

I am the poison fountain 
I am the poison seed 
I love to poison you 
You love the poison me 

A carnal desire - my life is now at stake 
For all that I know, how much more can I take 
The battles, the rages, the infinite stages 
Where we become the dead 

At the hour of my grief 
Please tell me what I need 
‘Cause no one seems to understand 
My place in life or who I am 
How can I go on like this? 

We have faltered again 
beneath the saddest shade of life 

Bring me all your hell 

What are we doing here? 
Are you still asking me? 
Just look right down the line 
You will find no sympathy 
See me, hear me, know who I am 
I am the one with contemptuous hands 
This is the name that you wish you could forget 
This is the name that you now regret 
Tell me what to say and do 
Tell me what to say to you 
…but now it’s too late
