Poison & Medicine Lyrics

Living shadows hunt me down but I got used to it

When I fought the darkest ones

You were right there fighting with me

I was caught up in my misery and never stopped to think

How did it all begin?

And I couldn't believe it

The roots of the storm that surround my youth

The ones that cut me through

Now I know, they come from you

The voices are getting loud

The hallways are getting dark

And you're nobody to blame

'Cause you're the only one who kept me safe

The poison and medicine

I'm healing but it's hard to breath

And I can feel it in my heart

that you never meant to start this fire

Faking smiles, cutting wires

They tie me to you

Everyone I've met has been replaced with

Every shade of blue

Now I'm getting all my colors back

Now that I get to choose

Who's walking beside me

Now I'm realizing

The roots of the storm that surround my youth

The ones that cut me through

Now I know, they come from you

The voices are getting loud

The hallways are getting dark

And you're nobody to blame

'Cause you're the only one who kept me safe

The poison and medicine

I'm healing but it's hard to breath

And I can feel it in my heart

that you never meant to start this fire

I don't wanna feel this way again

I'm scared, just want to numb the pain

Don't wanna hear, don't wanna see

The glass, it broke all over me

And even if it cut me deep

I started to heal

I'm standing still
