Poison Pill Song

[Verse 1] Dance near the silver bridge Drop a penny in A penny for your thoughts You smiled like the end of the world ? [Pre-Chorus – Extended] You wrap your soul around me Like silk that strangles soft Every heartbeat borrowed Suddenly, I’m suffocating ? [Chorus – Haunting, Echoed Vocals] I can’t breathe I can’t breathe anymore Your kiss was a poison pill Your lipstick inked like blood You swore it was medicine But it dragged me under ? [Verse 2] I lie on the floor I die in your bed Do I jump in the river Or hang on for dear life? You lit the match, Then kissed the fire Your love is a torture Your caress, a shame A knife that dips In And Out And calls it love No scars they can see But I’m bleeding within I can’t breathe I can’t breathe anymore Your kiss was a poison pill Your lipstick inked like blood You swore it was medicine But it dragged me under Now I’m gasping Just to feel the floor ? A penny falls again No bridge can bring me back No wish can stitch me whole The river keeps her secrets ?
