[Hook] Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies With these lies, eatin' me, you're eating me alive Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies Eatin' me alive with these lies, you're eating me alive [Verse 1] And I believed the lie before you lied to me The irony that I would be to blind to see Yeah saw it in my diary I knew it all along but I'm human and I'm wrong I just want to control I'm such a liability moved by epiphanies Made up my mind and I refuse to see it differently Prophetic when I said it so the message was embedded But I always make exceptions to the rule I don't regret it Instead of walkin' away with a hard heart Lots of anger lots of frustration rage like danger danger The opposite is true grace compa**ion and truth After everything that happened bad habits and distractions It's hard to imagine all the coulda woulda shoulda But what would it be to this is not my hope So I repent for the events that have taken place And I ate enough poison that I recognize the taste [Hook] Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies With these lies, eatin' me, you're eating me alive Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies Eatin' me alive with these lies, you're eating me alive [Verse 2] In the last four years I shed more tears than I'd like to admit
But I also shed my skin that revealed that I'm a serpent I hate snakes crawlin' on they bellies Don't tell me that I got that in my character trait I see the scales on my face And I'm fightin' it no that's not me It never has been but that's when it kicks me like a ton of bricks Like I deserved the punishment the wrath of God I tried to laugh it off But I can neither stand in judgment or stand in awe For moments when I couldn't stand at all Collapsing in perhaps it was caused from trying to hold it in When something is wrong but you don't know what it is With a blind fold try to pin the tail on a donkey Is it you or is it me? Who's responsible for this? It's impossible to guess So I'm left in unrest for the moments I wept Kept your dirty little secrets Which only made it harder to put together the pieces And know I see it A clear picture That this path was here for me to walk down An instrument used to break me down So I could be broken over my own sin And not be subject to the lies Spoken inward and out would the outcome is out of my hands The thought that my plans could succeed on my own without God What a total facade [Hook 2x] Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies With these lies, eatin' me, you're eating me alive Poison You're eatin' me alive with these lies Eatin' me, you're eatin' me alive with these lies, lies Eatin' me alive with these lies, you're eating me alive
