Alkaline Trio - The Poison

It's not just the pain, the pain in my back


That laughs in my face, my face every night


Or the poison that took my lungs


That keeps me from feeling warm.





But how could a rooftop view in London


Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?


Nothing has changed but now I fight with words


And I can't see so good.





And there's got to be more, much more than this.


I got pages of dreams, they're covered in piss


And the poison that took my soul,


It keeps me from feeling anything.





And how could a rooftop view in London


Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?


Nothing has changed but now I fight with words


And I can't see so good.


And now I fight with the words,


And now I fight with the words,


Now I fight with the words.





And how could a rooftop view in London


Look just the same as one in Brooklyn?


Nothing has changed but now I fight with the words,


And I can't see so good.


And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).


And I can't see so good (I can't see so good).


And I can't see so good.
