Lyrics for Irrational Poison
Nowhere left to go I wanna swim to you, baby But I'm taking the slow way I brace myself I feel the warm summer waves I'm waving goodbye to the places that we had I rise from the shore Naked again as I crawl across the sand I feel helpless and lost in irrational poison Oh, oh Oh, oh Can you take me as I am? (Take me to somewhere new) I lost everything I had (Show me the promised land) I can't speak a word to you (Talking my way into) It's a poison you can't understand You ripped up my world You left me in ribbons, so unsure And I tried and I tried and I failed To get to you, to you I swear these sins weren't mine But the jury wastes no time Passing sentence on me Frightened as hell I've polluted myself with irrational poison Watch me collapse The sins of the past have brought me to my knees As I look back at the sad aftermath of my last several choices Straight from the tap, irrational poison (Yeah, yeah) I can feel the undertow surround me It's irrational poison to me And how it takes down everyone around me It's irrational poison to me
