Dry as a bone
Baby we're a desert with no road to lead us home
I've held my tongue
Thinking it'd be better to leave well enough alone
Now here we are
Wading in the madness of all the toxic baggage
Come on, it's enough
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder when there's poison in the water
Don't wake the beast (shhh)
Put the demons that you wrestle back to sleep
Oh, my heavy heart
Tiptoeing around you leaves me weak
I pray for peace
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder...
And I keep trying to fix it
Keep giving you more grace
Will you ever say you're sorry, to my face?
There's Poison in the Water
Still, I can't quench my thirst
I let myself drink down, drink down slowly
Even though it hurts
You keep drifting farther
Listen as I sing these words
I know loving you might kill me, kill me slowly
Holding on gets harder when there's poison in the water
Mmmm, there's poison in the water
Hmmm mmmm mmmm
