Poison for the Pain

[Verse 1]
You crawl in like a cure
But you’re venom in disguise
Every word’s a pretty lie
Laced with fire behind your eyes
You said I’d learn to need it
Now I can’t breathe without the taste
You turned my hunger into weakness
Now I’m feeding off the waste
[Chorus]
You’re the poison for the pain
And I keep drinking just the same
I scream your name like it’s a prayer
But you were never really there
Tear me open, pour it in
Let the spiral start again
You're the wound I can’t explain
My sweet, addictive
Poison for the pain
[Verse 2]
You break me just to fix me
Then you watch it fall apart
I wear the scars like trophies
But they’re rotting out my heart
I used to call it healing
Now I call it what it is
Just a high that keeps on fading
Like a hit I always miss
[Chorus]
You’re the poison for the pain
And I keep drinking just the same
I scream your name like it’s a prayer
But you were never really there
Tear me open, pour it in
Let the spiral start again
You're the wound I can’t explain
My sweet, addictive
Poison for the pain
[Bridge]
You’re the answer I regret
The pill I take and still forget
I swore I’d never crawl again
But I’m right back where I began
[Final Chorus]
You’re the poison for the pain
And I keep drinking just the same
I scream your name like it’s a prayer
But you were never really there
Tear me open, pour it in
Let the spiral start again
You're the wound I can’t contain
My sweet, destructive
Poison for the pain
