Poison Flowers

I tend to rescue, it's just the part I play

Allure of the train wreck, can't look away

Breath taken, eyes closed, prepared to submerge

Crafting excuses once more

To clear the path for your return

I was the engine and you drove me recklessly

The glass on the asphalt is all that is left of me

I was the instrument you already knew how to play

Continually surprised it always ends this way

I'm redirecting my energy from these

These poison flowers

And back to things and those who truly matter

I'm redirecting my energy from these

These poison flowers

And back to things and those who truly matter

I must confess, my sisters and brothers

Our demons play nice with each other

The glorious allure, the pleasure, and the shame

I'm reconsidering

These were the angels I cast out before I knew

Painted as killers and whores from stories untrue

Poached from the sideline, slide into this circus in vain

Hooked on the drama, they whisper like cocaine

Facts have been shredded, it's too hard to find the truth

Search for those angels I cast out before I knew (Before I knew)

I'm redirecting my energy from these

These poison flowers

And back to things and those who truly matter

I'm redirecting my energy from these

These poison flowers

And back to things and those who truly matter

These were the angels I cast out before I knew

Painted as killers and whores from stories untrue

Poached from the sideline, slide into this circus in vain

Hooked on the drama, they whisper like cocaine
