Poison Ivy

Slowly her blood will kill him
Dying upon the leaves of poison
Body and mind

Helpless I watch him leave us
Lurking in utter darkness
Hiding from his past and his pride

Sadly I've been where you are so I know that
All the things you think you know and
All the things you say you love are just
Lullabies at night, echoes of her lies

You don't see it, pretend you're blind
You're afraid of what you might find
You need her poison to numb your mind
A victim of her barren soil…

Don't fear your own conviction
Don't be a remnant of her craving
Distinguish life from lies

I know you hurt just the way she hurts
I know she cries just the way you cry
But what you never share is that one smile

Trust me; I've been where you are so I know that
All the things you think you know and
All the things you say you love are just
Lullabies at night, echoes of her cries

Don't live her lie, you're not blind
No need to fear what you will find
Drain her poison out of your mind
Don't be the victim of her barren soul
