The Poison

The Poison

Pedro The Lion
(album: Achilles Heel)

the poison makes its way through my body slowly
into the pleasure centers of my brain
if you were here i would admit that i´m an asshole
but now it´s over and i can´t stay sober
though it isn´t like i´ve tried
on the front porch or on an airplane on vacation
or out for dinner in a nearby town
i was so proud just to have you sitting with me
but now it´s over and i can´t stay sober
pour and swallow follow one drink with another
i´ll keep on til you agree to come back over
or until there are x´s on my eyes
my old man always swore that hell would have no flame
just a front row seat to watch you true love pack her things and drive away
