Poison

Folder: 
2004

we all swallow the poison, unknowingly

minute by minute, drink by drink

the poison fills our veins

slowly mortalizing us

we look poison in the face

and poison looks back at us

we taste the poison on our lips

and it fills each bud on our tongue



the poison walks with us wherever we go

when it is near we will never know

it takes a step towards us again

every step is nearer to the end

and we will fear the poison

and the fear will paralyze us

and soon fighting it is no use

cause in the end all of us will lose



burning our throats, suffocating us

as we fight harder to breathe

we will fall into a liquidating sleep

as the posion sinks into us so deep

we all must learn to accept this drink

we all must eventually let ourselves sink

it is the only way to conquer death

to die a little more with each breath



we all swallow the poison, unknowingly

minute by minute, drink by drink

the poison fills our veins

slowly mortalizing us

we look poison in the face

and what do we now see

although the poison kills us

we will all be set free
