ALKALINE TRIO - Lead Poisoning lyrics

rate me

Choking slowly,

Broken hearted.

Don't look now,

Here's what you started.

And I swore I'd be there to the end,

Well bitter now but better friends.

I climbed out limbless to the ledge,

To baske in my last true regret.

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep.

Now pray to a brass first for my soul to keep.

Lay my heavy head here down to dream.

Wake up with this lead poisoning.

Sobbing softly,

Lost and hollow.

This fever dream,

Tough pill to swallow.

Not sure I'd be there to the end,

You're better off your bitterness.

I climbed out lifeless to the edge,

I waved goodbye and lept I...

Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.

Now pray to a brass first my soul to keep.

Lay my heavy head here down to dream.

Awaking to the blood and sweat and screams.

Woke up here on Monday morning,

This old treat on this dark corner,

Waiting here for what tomorrow brings.

Silver lake mercury mining,

This mistake no silver lining,

Waiting for a bullet train to bring me my lead poisoning.

My lead poisoning.

Lay my heavy head down here to sleep.

Now pray to a brass first my soul to keep.

Lay my heavy head here down to dream.

Wake up with this lead poisoning.
