Cutting Out The Poison

Intro

Verse 1

Sweet in the beginning

Slow in the vein

Every kind word a hook

Every kiss a chain

I gave you my days

You drank them one by one

Now the well is empty

And you're still not done

Pre-Chorus

I felt it for years

Under the skin

Knew what it was

Let it in

Chorus

I'm cutting out the poison

I'm leaving you behind

Every vein you ever lived in

I'll bleed until it's mine

I'm cutting out the poison

I'm leaving you

Let it hurt, let it open

I'm coming through

Post-Chorus

Bleed it out

Cut it out

Burn it out

Get out

Instrumental

Verse 2

You called it love

I called it breathing

Now I know the difference

Between staying and bleeding

Every door you locked

I walked through the wall

No more apologies

No more calls

Pre-Chorus

I felt it for years

Under the skin

Knew what it was

Let it in

Chorus

I'm cutting out the poison

I'm leaving you behind

Every vein you ever lived in

I'll bleed until it's mine

I'm cutting out the poison

I'm leaving you

Let it hurt, let it open

I'm coming through

Post-Chorus

Bleed it out

Cut it out

Burn it out

Get out

Bridge

No blame left

No fight left

Just the blade

And the cut

It won't be clean

It won't be quick

But I'd rather bleed free

Than live sick

Instrumental

Final Chorus

I cut out the poison

I left you behind

Every vein you ever lived in

I bled until it was mine

I cut out the poison

I left you

It hurt, it opened

I came through

Post-Chorus

Bled it out

Cut it out

Burned it out

Got out

Outro

I'm leaving you

I'm leaving you

Gone
