The Poison — All-American Rejects Lyrics

The Poison Song Lyrics

---

You were so young,
and I guess I'm old.
Open your eyes,
and I'll keep mine closed.
I prefer standing,
and you take your seat.
I'll be wide awake,
you'll be asleep.
And you'll fall down a hole.
That's the one place we both know.
You'd take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go.
I that guess sometimes, we both loose our minds.
Find a better road.

I can be pensive,
you can be so sure.
You'll be the poison,
I'll be the cure.
I'm alone on the journey,
and I'm alive none the less,
and when you do your very worst,
mmmmm it feels the best.
And you'll fall down a hole.
That's the one place we both know.
You'd take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go.
I guess that sometimes, (but only sometimes)
we both loose our minds,
find a better road.

[Instrumental]

And you'll fall down a hole.
That's the one place in this world that we both know.
You'd take me with you if you could,
if you could I'd lose everything.

Can't you see the faces melting as the sun rains from their eyes.
Who are you to keep your head with the hearts that you hang behind?
Look at yourself, look in the mirror, don't you see a lie?
That you tell yourself again a thousand times. (Tell yourself again a thousand times)
And the truth that makes us laugh will make you cry,
You wanna die? No?

So you fall down a hole,
that's the one place we both know.
You'd take me with you if you could, but I wouldn't go.
Because sometimes, we both loose our minds, find the better road.
