Poseidon's Poison

Sitting there in the bathtub 

Glass sitting on the side

Sound cloud turned all the way up

House to myself 
 
Wine glass had crown and codeine 
All hail the king and his queen
Trying to decide between 
Pouring it down my throat or the drain 
 
It's supposed to numb you
Yet I was trying to run 
From the numb of life
And feel something for a change
 
Potent as rat poison 
Colored like strawberry wine
Enticing as sin
Binding like medusa
 
Still indecisive I take a sip
And then decide not to
So I made the bitch sing
Song of a siren 
 
And oh girl 
this boat is sinking 
Like the titanic
Sink the unsinkable 
 
The things you didn't think
We're even possible 
Are now your biggest fear
And fateful reality
 
Hate cannot drive out hate
However poison can
Chase away the 
Poisoned thoughts
