"Poisonous Weapons" lyrics

"Poisonous Weapons"

And I felt so fucking alive

Straight from the heavens
Destined to shine your light
Or deep from the bowels of hell
Sent to agonize
When truth hits the surface
Reality sweeps like a flood
Render you wounded
And drowning in rivers of blood

I can't relate
Your failures are not my fault
No sympathy
All hail the weakest link

Shredding the carcass
Thrown into wastelands
Piling high upon flesh
There's no blood on my hand
The ending will hit you
Like the coldest winter chill
The story is final
When the killer is revealed

Blood-soaked stains resurrect the dead
Parasitic rats feeding on the wound that's in your head, yeah
Poisonous weapons in every hand
I need you to turn, run as fast as you can
Never mind the cloak and the dagger in the way
Ignore the voices telling you, you need to stay

I can hold
I can hold you in the sea
I can feel
I can feel you watching me

All the hours that we bled
And the arrogance is evident
All of the sacrifice, they were meant
Calling your name, holding a space
In our hearts for you

I can't relate
Your failures are not my fault
No sympathy
All hail the weakest link

I can't relate
Your failures are not my fault
No sympathy
All hail, all hail the weakest link
