Arsenic and Cyanide

Arsenic and cyanide, keeps me feeling warm inside

While I am melting away, please don't hate me for i can not stay

I cannot be there to keep by your side

Memory's of them and loss of their thoughts

I am doing as I was taught 

The only thing I'm good at is simply giving up

Now I roll on the floor, on the table sits my empty cup

Taste so good with sugar inside

Keeps me from remembering 

And falsely hoping

Taking me to a safer place

Thank you, arsenic and cyanide
