Another swift turn
Expectedly arrives
Should've known
I should've known
You spit your venom
Until they spill
But never stop there
It's never enough
Should've known
I should've known
Await your second wind
Then fly at me again
With your poisen
Silence claws
At my insides
Common sense
Lies with the ugly
Just at the tip
Of the tongue
Let it go and watch it wrap
Around you
And consume
Here's to all the anguish
And discouraging words
Should've known
I should've known
To the places my mind would
Escape with me
Where you caused it to take me
There's sanity
Just one step back
But for you
Another whole mile
Here's to your venom
Your poisen
Your words
Should've known
You should've known.
