Poison - Ruston Kelly

I hear footsteps in the hall every night

And there’s a shadow underneath my door

There’s a hole punched through the wall

Are you happy now?

Your memory cuts into my day

It buries all my nights away

Thinking of you is like digging my own grave

You’re my poison now

You still come

When you need someone to love

Or you need a hand to touch

Threw my face down in the mud

Watch me fall

Till I’m crawling on my knees

Till my fingers crack and bleed

And you’ve taken every part of me

You’re my poison now

You’re my poison now

Can I drain every drop of you out?

Cause all that you are is poison

It’s not because I’m left alone to wonder why

Or what became of the heart that was shaped so much by mine

Even now that I’m a stranger in your eyes

That’s not what tears me down

It’s how you made my worst of days never seem as grey

It’s remembering your mouth and the way it tastes

It’s rosemary beach on a sunny day

Yeah that’s my poison now

Cause you still call

When you need someone to love

Or you need a hand to touch

Threw my face down in the mud

And watch me fall

Till I’m broken and I’m weak

Till I’m crawling on my knees

And you’ve taken every part of me

You’re my poison now

You’re my poison now

Can I drain every drop of you out?

Cause all that you are is poison

Yeah, poison

Baby

Woah…

I hope there will come a time in your life

That light comes back and it shines through your eyes

And no one by then will see you enough to find

What won’t be found

Cause while you’re running through this world

So fucking blind

I’m gonna be running free with my arms open wide

For the first time, in such a long time

I can say I’m happy now

I’m happy now

I’m happy now…

Don’t you call

And tell me you’re still in love

That you miss me way too much

Well you can never see how deep they made us fall

And turn the flower into a weed

And the lover into a thief

That has stolen my life from me

I won’t be poisoned now

I won’t be poisoned now

And I will drain every drop of you out

Cause all that you are to me

All that you were to me

All you still are…

Is poison

You’re poison…

Are you happy now?
