Poisoned Lyrics

I saw stars

Like the ones that grew over Buckner

When I was young on the backroads

With some older guy

He'd listen to my music

He'd never refuse it

Tell me I'm beautiful

Unlike any other guy

Flashing cars

Like the dreams that dissipate

Once you see the illusion

Reflections on the skyline

In those loveless nights

As a lonely, needy kid

That's all I was

A lonely, needy kid

But

He'd listen to my stories

He'd give me all the glory

Tell me I'm beautiful

Unlike any other guy

He'd tell me not to run

But maybe I should walk

I knew I lived close by

Maybe just a few blocks

I could last until then

And try not to try

I'll try not to try

Back home

I'd eat the whole fruit pie

None left to simmer

Sticky night, there goes dinner

Egg drop left to spoil

I was poisoned

Falling out on my kitchen table

Just to fall down in some new town

I was poisoned, and

I'll just try not to try

I'll try not to try

But

He'd listen to my music

He'd never refuse it

Tell me I'm beautiful

Unlike any other guy
