Sweet Poison

Lyrics

[Intro]
Your words are so pure
Like water washing me clean
I want to believe
[Verse 1]
Today I gave away my things
He says I won't need them anymore
Such gentle eyes when he speaks
About the truth behind that door
I feel so special, chosen
Part of something more
[Pre-chorus]
(Oh-oh) The water runs deep
(Oh-oh) My faith complete
[Chorus]
Drink the sweet poison, believe the sweet lies
Feel it run through me, it opens my eyes
You say it's holy, you say it's divine
Drink the sweet poison, I'm falling inside
[Verse 2]
Strange things in the compound late
Some kids got sick from what we drank
He said don't question, just have faith
But something in me starts to break
I saw him counting all the money
While we sleep on wooden planks
[Pre-chorus]
(Oh-oh) The cracks appear
(Oh-oh) The truth so near
[Chorus]
Drink the sweet poison, believe the sweet lies
Feel it run through me, it opens my eyes
You say it's holy, you say it's divine
Drink the sweet poison, I'm falling inside
[Bridge]
What if everything was wrong?
All those prayers, all those songs
Empty words that kept us here
Trading hope for frozen fear
La-la-la, we're all the same
Puppets dancing in his game
[Final Chorus]
Drink the sweet poison, I see through the lies
Feel it run from me as something dies
You said it's holy, but nothing's divine
I spit out the poison, I'm finally alive
