Poison
Its only early evening
So soon the nights gone wrong
I saw the danger warning
I let the madness roll on
I was only being pleasant
Just fun and effervescent
Im sorry if thats not allowed
If youve a gift to give me
Ill take my poison now
I give my lame excuses
So the people wont know
I wear my long-sleeved dresses
So the bruises dont show
Your smile is window-dressing
I watch your mood regressing
This anger of which youre so proud
If youve a gift to give me
Ill take my poison now
I feel your eyes upon me
Everywhere I go
I feel your breath upon me
Im scared to go home
I fear your sly invention
Your subtle intervention
That wheedles me away from the crowd
If youve a gift to give me
Ill take my poison now
