All The Poison

from As I Were A Ghost by O Youth

/

lyrics

I've been alive so long?
I’ve hardly noticed that I have been alive at all.
So, call me when you head out to the bar.
So, call me. We can meet up at the bar.

Tattoo my wrists, and feed me all the poison I can take.
‘Cause if there’s more to breathing, I’ve got to learn how to relate.
If this cast of brothers mine has to tie me to the ground,
I’ve got to know how to just change.

I feel like I was wrong.
I’ve got to taste it to see if I was getting on
to you for just trying to have fun.
So, call me when you’re trying to have fun.

Tattoo my wrists, and feed me all the poison I can take.
‘Cause if there’s more to breathing, I’ve got to learn to relate.
And if this cast of brothers mine has to tie me to the ground,
I’ve got to know how to just change.

Sometimes I want to move out
to some place far off where no one knows a thing about me,
but I don’t want to leave my friends.
So, tell me not to leave.

Tattoo my wrists, and feed me all the poison I can take.
‘Cause if there’s more to breathing, I’ve got to learn to relate.
And if this cast of brothers mine has to tie me to the ground,
I’ve got to know how to just change.
