Slow Poison

You say you like it
The way your living
You say you love it
The things you’re doing

Drinking whiskey
Snorting coke
The hangman has you
Has you on his rope

Your life is a party
You say you’re having a ball
But you hide from the answer
You know you’re missing it all

Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray

Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high

Life ain’t easy
It’s no free ride
Your only answer
You go get high

You feel the heartache
You feel the pain
You can’t escape
So you fry your brain
Ain’t it a shame

You can’t stay high forever
Sometime you’ll have to come
Down what will you find there
When your feet touch the ground

Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray

Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high

You waste all your money
All you have
On a feeling
That won’t last

Can’t you see you’re just hiding
You’re just running away
Living scare you
So you try to escape
You can’t escape

Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray

Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high
