Poison Was The Cure

Music & Lyrics - Mustaine



I miss the warm embrace I felt

First time you touched me

Secure and safe in open arms

I should have known you'd crush me



A snake you were when we met

I loved you anyway

Pulling out your poisoned fangs

Venom never goes away



Serpent swims free in my blood

Dragons sleeping in my veins

Jackal speaking with tongue

Roach egg-laying in my brain



Stalked beneath your shadow

Sleepwalking to the gallows

I'm the sun that beats your brow in

Till I finally threw the towel in



Never knowing if I'd wake up in a

Whirlpool got redundant

My brain was just some driftwood

In a cesspool I became dead

From a rock star to a desk fool

Was my destiny someone said

Life's a tidepool

Taste the waters life's abundant

Taste me
