Poison in My Mouth

Two years clean, clear mind, bright dawn

No more poison running through my veins

I remember the nights that felt so numb

Swallowed the lies, now I see what they become

Taste of regret, twisting in my mouth

A bitter reminder of the darkest routes

But I’ve risen above, I’m feeling alive

No more shadows, no need to hide

Thought I’d forget, but it’s still around

Echoes of the past that I’ve unwound

I drank that poison, now I’m free

What on earth was I thinking of, can’t you see?

Every sip, a virus in disguise

Now I’m washed clean, and I realize

The aftermath still haunts my mind

Anxiety and panic, hard to unwind

But I’m stronger, I stand tall

I’ve broken the chains, I’ve conquered it all

Sharpened eyes, clearer days

No more pain, I’ve found my way

Though the ghosts still whisper near

I’ve got courage, I’ve got no fear

(Breakdown)

DROP IT!

But I’ve risen above, I’m feeling alive

No more shadows, no need to hide

Thought I’d forget, but it’s still around

Echoes of the past that I’ve unwound

I drank that poison, now I’m free

What on earth was I thinking of, can’t you see?

Every sip, a virus in disguise

Now I’m washed clean, and I realize

The aftermath still haunts my mind

Anxiety and panic, hard to unwind

But I’m stronger, I stand tall

I’ve broken the chains, I’ve conquered it all

Two years sober, still I fight

Messengers of darkness, out of sight

Taste of poison, now just a word

A lesson learned, a voice unheard
