David Bazan - The Poison lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 a**hole But now its over and I can't stay sober Though it isn't like I tried [Verse 2] And 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 its over and I can't stay sober Pour and swallow, follow one shot with another I'll keep on 'till you agree to come back over Or until there are X's on my eyes [Verse 3] My old man always swore that Hell would have no flame Just a front row seat To watch your true love pack her things and drive away
