The American Hotel System - The Poison Lyrics

I woke up this morning
And I turned on the news
A man had gone crazy
From singing the blues
And before he could warn me
I made up an excuse
For changing the channel
For advice I refused

So pour me the poison
I'll drink it up slow
I'll savor the taste as
The bitterness flows

I opened my cell phone
To share all my doubts
But I started shouting
When my fears came about
I typed out my gravestone
Then I figured it out
The words I was against
I found stuck in mouth

So pour me the poison
I'll drink it up slow
I'll savor the taste as
The bitterness flows

I'll keep repeating
This love I've ignored
While I'm still reaping
This bitter reward
But I am weak, Lord
My groans are too deep
I need a reminder
To be humble and meek

So remind me it's poison
And an arrogant show
I'll savor the sweet as
The bitterness goes

I'll savor the sweet as
Bitterness goes
