Poison in my veins, early in the day,<br />
Poison in my thinking,<br />
Give me chance to feed,<br />
It's everything I need,<br />
Try to give me something, please<br />
Just for me<br />
Taking it in hand, making few demands,<br />
It's not as if I could,<br />
Still reeling, still drawing blood,<br />
Still pushing softer than I should,<br />
Still bouncing off the walls,<br />
The marks, though, undetectable<br />
And still no good<br />
So I save my skin,<br />
And lose control while my soul grows thin<br />
They keep me tied,<br />
And suck the poison out, but leave me dry...<br />
Don't stop to think of you, you're selfish if you do,<br />
People just aren't made that way<br />
Nothing on this earth, like nurturing from birth,<br />
A chance to win, a moneyspin,<br />
A little might,<br />
So hang on tight...<br />
So I save my skin,<br />
And lose control while my soul grows thin<br />
They keep me tied,<br />
And suck the poison out, but leave me dry...<br />
A little give and take, while we're on the make,<br />
We take it's true, but after all it's all for you...
