Poison

When did the cure become... the poison?

I used to like the cigarette taste

On the front of your lips

Got a secondhand high

From your nicotine kiss

Now all I taste are the chemicals

The way your fingertips run

Up and down my skin

Used to feel holy —

Now it burns like sin

We're cocaine cut with fentanyl

The O2's thinner in the air now

Got me too high, now the comedown's...

Like a fever

Running through me, I can feel it

The temperature keeps rising

Used to breathe her — now my lungs freeze

She used to heal me

When did the cure become the poison?

I take prescription meds for the migraines

Doc said, "Take it on the nights when

We're dragging it out — nobody wins"

Fighting and fucking and fighting again

Paralyzed in the in-between

Saving us is my disease

This love will kill me slowly

Like a fever

Running through me, I can feel it

The temperature keeps rising

Used to breathe her — now my lungs freeze

She used to heal me

When did the cure become the poison?

She's like a fever

Running through me, I can feel it

The temperature keeps rising

Used to breathe her — now my lungs freeze

She used to heal me

When did the cure become... the poison?
