Strong poison.
There's an itch that's crawling 'cross your skin.
There's a fire that's burning deep within.
You feel the pain and you want to cry,
But you've stopped caring if you live or die.
Strong poison – it'll grant your dreams.
Strong poison – it'll make you scream.
Strong poison burning in your veins
Until the pain is all that remains.
Strong poison.
I hope and pray that I can find a way
To make them take this poison cup away.
But there's a sickness running out of control.
We need our medicine to make us whole.
Strong poison – best that you can find.
Strong poison – burning in our minds.
Strong poison – like a fire in reverse,
And I can't tell if we're better or worse.
Strong poison.
Medicine is poison by a different name.
We'll find that in the end that the result's the same.
I'm looking for a potion to cure all our ills --
The very next dose may be the one that kills.
Strong poison – it has caused me grief.
Strong poison – it just takes belief.
Strong poison will not let me be,
But I've got to find a way to be free.
Strong poison.
