Riddles of Poison

Riddles of Poison

It's never for sure, and
Only in small increments
And it's always so hard to find
But still people go looking
Heading off on different routes
Only to realize, they'll always be without
But our hearts desire it, as it flows in our blood
Like a drug the small hits take us so high
Only to leave us dead and dying waiting for it again
Willing to go to all lengths to regain the sin

Sweet in taste and bitter afterwards
Its what makes you sleep better but wake up sick
Where you're constantly burning down
Till your nothing but wax, but you contain no wick
You may have a body, but you’re nothing but hollow

Some will go at any length to find it again
Till they see the bottom of bottles, glass and plastic
And we find them hanging in the attic
While others try to smoke away the absence
Living their lives in a form of past tense
Because they can't look forward
To where it all goes wrong
Where they won't stand strong
Where they break down, lay down, pray now
There isn't much to do to avoid it
It's the poison you all know and love

Its the life long struggle
It’s everyone’s holy grail
But on a ship set sail
You're never gonna catch it
You're never gonna get it
You're never gonna hold it
You're never gonna escape it

It's sunshine and pills
Bottles and loves
Rainbows in gasoline puddles
And needles with drugs
Kisses and kills
Music and money
Power with powder
Watching the rain when it's supposed to be sunny
