lyrics

You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
Think I don’t want out?
Well I do, well I do
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?

You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
You think I don’t know you don’t love me
But I do, but I do, ooh
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?

You’re desperate, baby
That much is true, that much is true
You think you can talk your way out
Because that’s all you can do
You’re convinced that to pull yourself up
You must tear everyone else down
But you’re up against the world
And you're headed for the ground

You’re poison, baby
You know it’s true, you know it’s true
You think I don’t know you don’t love me
But I do, but I do, ooh
The pawns that you play
Are as black as your heart
Is that why you live,
Is that why you live in the dark?

Running out of time
At the end of your rope
With your back against the wall
You're desperate
You're desperate

You’re cornered, baby
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
They’ve got torches, pitchforks now
Headed for you, headed for you
These games you’ve been playing, the tables have turned
Can’t trust you with anything, that much I’ve learned
You’ll be desperate for me now
When you’re buried in the ground
They’re filling your grave
You better start screaming
