"Poison Prescribed As Medicine" lyrics

"Poison Prescribed As Medicine"

Call me after it's over
Tell me when it's safe
To look into your eyes
When it's finally over
Will you keep switching sides?
Swallow your pride

I found my voice in line
My timing's right
But there's no hope for yours

Moving mountains with my words
While you're just keep closing doors
Pouring salt on open sores
It's all your fault!

What a beautiful day to be broken
Your words are screaming their way out from choking
Lost me again
It's all that you know
Poison prescribed as medicine

Tired of watching you
Watching you fall apart
It was over before the start
Poison prescribed as medicine

Lusting for loss I put my life in a vice
Don't look at me surprised
Prescribed my fix
I really thought you were it
Overwhelmed by your cries
I found my voice in line
My timing's right
But there's no hope for yours

I'm trading sticks for swords
And coming back for more
This time I'm waging war
I've had enough

What a beautiful day to be broken
Your words are screaming their way
Out from choking
Lost me again
It's all that you know
Poison prescribed as medicine

I'm tired of watching you
Watching you fall apart
It was over before the start
Poison prescribed as medicine

Maybe you're a liar
No I'm just paranoid
I'm begging for quiet
But get lost in the noise
Projecting on to me
Just like mirror I'm stuck inside
Still I'm always left
With nothing asking why

When flood gates fall
You'll be the first to drown
Once a legend
Now unknown in your own town
On the ground
And grit your teeth
Still you fall from your feet

What a beautiful day to be broken
Your words are screaming their way
Out from choking
Lost me again
It's all that you know
Poison prescribed as medicine

Tired of watching you
Watching you fall apart
It was over before the start

Poison prescribed as medicine
Poison prescribed as medicine
