Poison Air

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up in the dust With gold on my skin The doors were shut And the smoke moved in Your name on my tongue Like a broken spell I know this place I know it too well [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, hold tight The sand don’t lie One more step and We’re cut inside [Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in And you won’t wake up The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Say my name Then shut it out [Verse 2] Black figs on the tray Split at the seam Hawks over the roof Like they’re watching me I saw your shadow By the water jar You smiled so slow Then it went too far [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath, hold tight The sand don’t lie One more step and We’re cut inside [Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in And you won’t wake up The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Say my name Then shut it out [Bridge] I was born in the heat I was raised on fear Every sweet little lie Turns sharp in here So pull me close If you want the truth I can lead you down But I can’t save you [Final Chorus] The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Breathe it in And you won’t wake up The Air is Poison The Air is Poison Say my name Then shut it out The Air is Poison The Air is Poison One more breath And we’re gone now
