[Hook] [‘Paradise in Poison’ by Matthew Johnston] When the seas get dark and stormy Some of us like to anchor at the bottom of bottles Trying to find a Swizzle of a lifeline to pull us from dark places before we drown We find paradise in poison We let shots be the vaccine to vacate memories As I hopscotch through doors/Dewar’s of poured euphoria Holding hands with my demons and hope they stop screaming with each sin I sip Because the devil has been slipping me tickets on night trains And convincing me that I can escape pain with this medicine So tonight I’ll let gin be my tonic As thoughts morph to Gombeys and I can’t think straight But we still sip the liquor quicker Bound to be buried in beer bottles and Chivas and don’t give a damn We’ll just act up and pour more black Cuz we won’t tap out til the black’s out and we black out Not remembering those who raced with death and decked out So maybe I’ll pour a glass of my pride on the rocks Then watch me tiptoe over shattered shot glasses And work on avoiding the daunting coffins ‘Cause I love getting tapped, But it’s gonna be the death of me...
