Poisonous Antidote
You're a sudden winter freeze
In my empty desert of heat
In my desiccated world of drought
You're the rain that floods my streets
You tie me up and neglect me
You hug me and give me a kiss
You push me away and break my heart
But say I'm the one you're going to miss
You're my vice and my virtue
My Pandora's Box of hate and hope
My silent, sweet killing joy
My tempting poisonous antidote
I don't understand why you do this
It's cruel and inhumane
My heart is tied in a million knots
And you're the one to blame
You're my lodestone rock that pulls me in
Then tosses me aside
I'm left here waiting on your shore
To be pulled out with the tide
You're my vice and my virtue
With my thirst no longer remote
I can't restrain my love for your
I need your poisonous antidote
I could cry a million tears
And you'd just turn your head
But if anything were to happen to you
I'd be there beside your bed
This torture burns me up inside
The flames that will not cease
Toasty warm and melting down
Your grip will never release
I need your vice
Your vile lies
The virtue too
With hopeful eyes
The assassin that kills me in my sleep
Unaware, naive
Although you plot to tear me up
Please don't ever leave
You're what I will always long for
You're what I must evade
This antidote of poison
That will my heart persuade
