What’s Your Poison?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me know how to move when I walk with you So I'm not stumbling over my words, I've hovered Here in the clouds just to talk to you That concept - it may seem absurd I've watched brothers play in the valleys and sisters climb mountains just to be on even land And I've watched mothers look for fathers at the bottom of shot glasses And accept that some things I just won't understand There's an acceptance of failure in the moment that we won't acknowledge Why? I don't know Looking out along the vast variables of living I see it's in our destiny that we continue to grow The concrete beneath our feet plays bridge to a destination unknown And I've lost much sleep along this path But found a much needed rest in each of my poems [Chorus] So what's your poison? Showbiz or cubicle? Life or death, we all gotta choose one Some choose to scavenge around in darkness While I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun So what's your poison? Tell me what's your poison [Verse 2] Let me know how to speak when I'm in your presence We all gotta learn that sometime There's a fine line between a smile and a cry And I've walked that fine line blind too many times Open the door and be a neighbor 'cause there's absolutely no hope in regret Fear seems to have an appetite that never quite ends And I only have wilted wild flowers left With my own eyes, I've seen tomorrow And it's there, you just gotta hold out your hands Keep trying but if you fall off the cliff while tiptoeing the edge I'm sure the rest of the world will understand And who are you to make them be something more than who they wanna be? A house of cards will topple soon I've sat here and watched you roam in circles for weeks Stargazing and having private talks with the moon There has never been a time so now within a life so grand and full Too much of our effort is spent on the meaningless Unbeknownst to most, we have so much to lose [Chorus] So what's your poison? Showbiz or cubicle? Life or death, we all gotta choose one Some choose to scavenge around in darkness While I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun So what's your poison? What's your poison? Tell me what's your poison What's your poison? I look to leave my footprints on the surface of the sun
