Verse 1

I know it’s no good for me,
but I still reach out my hand,
like a moth to something burning,
like I don’t understand.

There’s a weight behind my breathing,
there’s a noise I can’t outrun,
every silence feels like pressure,
every night’s a loaded gun.

---

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I’m stronger,
I swear this is the last time—

but the moment gets a little colder,
and I cross that same line.

---

Chorus

Poison—
I know it’s no good for me,
but give me something, anything
to take the edge off me.

Poison—
smooth it out, make it right,
I don’t need forever,
just get me through tonight.

I know, I know—
it’s dragging me down slowly,
but still…
pour a little more for me.

---

Verse 2

It starts off like a whisper,
like relief inside my veins,
like a quiet kind of mercy
washing over all the pain.

But it lingers in the corners,
turns the soft into a need,
what was once a small escape
now becomes the air I breathe.

---

Pre-Chorus

I see it in the mirror,
I hear it in my name—

something’s slipping through my fingers,
but I call it just a phase.

---

Chorus

Poison—
I know it’s no good for me,
but give me something, anything
to take the edge off me.

Poison—
smooth it out, make it right,
I don’t need forever,
just get me through tonight.

I know, I know—
it’s dragging me down slowly,
but still…
pour a little more for me.

---

Bridge

What am I without it?
Who am I in the clear?
If I face it sober,
will the silence reappear?

Is it me I’m running from,
or the world I can’t control?
Is this just a habit—
or a hunger in my soul?

---

Breakdown (Soft / Spoken Feel)

I know…
I know it’s no good for me…

But the edge feels closer lately,
and I’m slipping where I stand.

Just a little…
just enough…

just to feel like I still can.

---

Final Chorus (Stripped → Full)

Poison—
I know it’s no good for me,
but give me something, anything
to take the edge off me.

Poison—
don’t make me feel tonight,
just let me drift a little
somewhere out of sight.

I know, I know—
there’s nothing here that saves me,

but still…
give me something
to break me gently.

---

Outro

I know it’s no good for me…

but I need something.
