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

?
