If I could suck the poison
I’d play upon your nape
I’d serve the kind of courses
That lightened up your plate
If I could suck the poison
I’d play upon your nape
I’d make the kind of choices
That lightened up your weight
To smell the blooming flowers
That grew from bloodied mud
The blast that blew the showers
Made sure our boots were stuck
I am far from cynical, yet I dream in blue
And if I follow their recipe
They’ll poison me and you
Tongue kissed the concrete with teeth
That feeling was never cheap
Made a killing on the underside
Of the willow that weeped
Many self-styled wolves
Now out themselves as sheep
Living inside a global resurgence of grief
Whilst my unceasing love elicits disbelief
As peacekeepers miss the brief
Whispering neon secrets
The money is like colour in that it bleeds
The trespasses running down your cheek
And none were of your own making
Honesty is now counterculture, no debating
I want your secrets, sweat, and salivation
I want your secrets, sweat, and salivation
That will be yours and my salvation
That will be yours and my salvation
That will be yours and my salvation
That will be yours and my salvation
To smell the blooming flowers
That grew from bloodied mud
The blast that blew the showers
Made sure our boots were stuck
I am far from cynical, yet I dream in blue
And if I follow their recipe
They’ll poison me and you
I can sense the poisoned soul
I hear the voices on patrol
We chase the warming bliss despite
The paranoia that haunts the night
And though we’ve all been here before
Can’t tell contagion from the cure
Just when they thought we broke, we bend
Can’t play pretend, can’t be the end
If I could suck the poison
I’d play upon your nape
I’d serve the kind of courses
That lightened up your plate
If I could suck the poison
I’d play upon your nape
I’d make the kind of choices
That lightened up your weight
What did we succumb to?
What was done, one cannot undo
When undone, the bitterness can become you
But there are still realms of trust for us to run through
