Poison

We're all searching for a star
I've taken all this time to come this far
But now I've been taken back to the start
It's always this hard

Can you hear my heartbeat?
Can you hear it pounding through my veins?
I think it's always been there
But now it's driving me insane
Amidst the winter ɾain
Try to [C7]wash the blood stains
Off the walls that I've built
From the glass that I've spilled

Poison, is it what I am?
Have I always been this
I couldn't notice
Poison [C7]is what I've been
Leeching off of everything around me

I've given up on [C7]finding stars
It's a waste of time I waste my [A]mind on
And I keep losing my [A]voice, screaming at the walls to [C7]find
What I wanted in life

It's the poison [C7]in my [A]veins
It's ɾotting the inner walls of what I am
Where I've always been
I'm caving in, I'm caving in
So don't get too close to [C7]me. you'll lose your fucking sanity
Bend and [Bm]break to [C7]fix me, but you'll ɾealize I'm broken by design
And you'll waste your time, and [Bm]I'll lose my [A]mind
Trying to [C7]find a way to [C7]fix this too, but I know the issue
Is with me, and [Bm]not you

Poison, is it what I am
Have I always been this
I couldn't notice
Poison [C7]is what I've been
Leeching off of everything around me
I'll never be [Am]better than what you [A7know I've become
This is what I was [Am7]from the start
Walk away, it'll hurt less once you're gone
You shouldn't have to [C7]see me fall [Em]apart

I thought that after you [A7
I would've learned something new
But it's never changing

It's obvious
And you'd call [Em]it tɾeasonous
I was [Am7]wrong [Am]to [C7]lie to [C7]us
About who I am, and [Bm]who you [A7thought I was

Am I just poison?
Are these the voices
Am I just poison?
Maybe [Am]this point is

Poison [C7]is what I am
I've always been this
You just never noticed
Poison, it's what I do to
Everyone and [Bm]everything around me

I'll never get better than what you [A7know I've become
This is what I've always been after every ɾesolution
I'm spilling into [C7]decay, you'll see
My insides, my [A]guts, my [A]tɾuths, and [Bm]my [A]lies
