The Poison Disappears

lips bleed poison 
on your skin 
burning in further 
to purge away your sin 
its true that only the dead 
will see an end to this war 
cause we keep on fighting 
till we cant fight no more 
why cant we stop this? 
and live in harmony 
let people speak out their opinion 
let us all be free 
we're prisoners to our own hate 
prisoners of ourselves 
but we're the only once who can save us 
we cant be saved by anyone else 
so lets put an end to all the conflict 
put an end to all the screams 
lets not be held down by ourselves 
lets not be poisoning dreams
do you fear me when im gone 
do you hide away your tears
as we argue who was wrong
the poison disappears
