poison to the skin

Got a cough, I’m so sick of myself 

Spent too long wishing to be anyone else 

All alone and it’s so hard to tell

If it’s the end or perpetual hell

In a loop at a dizzying pace 

Alienated then left without a trace 

All alone I’m so sick of myself

But you were too it was easy to tell

When will I get better?

When will this end, if ever?

I’m poison to the skin 

Intoxicating 

But I let you win 

You burrowed right down to my bones

Scars so deep but no one knows

Those words that you said to me 

As we walked along Kits beach

The sun burned my porcelain skin

The first sign things were changing

Heat rash everyone could see

The blush stung my ashamed cheeks

Oh, when will I get better?

When will this end, if ever?

I’m poison to the skin 

Intoxicating 

But I let you win 

You broke me good

You broke me fast

You broke me in a way that lasts

You broke me good

You broke me fast

You broke me in a way that lasts

When will I get better?

When will this end, if ever?

I’m poison to the skin 

Intoxicating 

I’ll never win
