I always knew I had what it took
To jump over any obstacle
Together and separate, we've been through
Fight for me, I'd kill for you
I always knew things were the same
But there's a caution light in your brain
I won't help with your cement shoes
If bailing out is what you choose

You've been spending years and years
Carrying your biggest fear too long
Too long... too long...
You've been sucked in through a hole
With your vision of control so wrong
So wrong... so wrong...

If you leave your defenses down,
Who'll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down,
Who won't pick you up?

Poison my eyes
Better men have tried, tried to bring me down
A man is a man is a man you can't see clear
Now you're forced to hear
All that you dread
Better to keep it in,
Believe it, it's what you deserve

You make me feel everything I do
Betters me, sabotages you
All it does is leave you behind
As you disconnect from the grind
Drowning in your own denial
It's a simple as a smile
One is strong, one insecure
Who dies first in our private war?

You've been wasting years and years
Running from your darkest fears too long
Too long... too long...
You've been falling through a hole
Now your vision of control is gone
Is gone... is gone...

If you leave your defenses down,
Who'll chew you up and spit you out
If you leave your defenses down,
Who won't pick you up?

Poison my eyes
Better men have tried, tried to bring me down
A man is a man is a man you can't see clear
Now you're forced to hear
All that you dread
Better to keep it in,
Believe it, it's what you deserve

Be dangerous, unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous, unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous, unpredictable and make a lot of noise
Be dangerous, unpredictable and make a lot of noise
