I talk to X, he tell me that he's always watching
He put a hex up on my soul to keep me locked in
I keep on looking at the world like I'm an optimist
He says, "We can't go back there ain't no way of stopping this"
I say, "The truth will always make it through the winter"
He tells me history is written by the victor
It's poison
Yeah, poison

I wanna live for something
I wanna die for something
He makes me cry for nothing, says that I'm a dime a dozen
I wanna write the song to help you start the revolution
He wanna see you next to me in public execution
Poison
Yeah, poison

And I watch these birds fly
And I cry, why can't I? Why can't I?
And I watch these birds fly
And I cry, why can't I? Why can't I?

I wanna be the change, I try to make my feelings vocal
He's in my head he makes me sick he makes me antisocial
I try to do my part, I vote I sign all the petitions
He tells that there ain't no way that I'ma make a difference
Losing my mind I wanna find a way to keep composure
He gets me high, he tell me lies, I think he's taking over
I try to close my eyes, I'm haunted in my nightmares
I'm quite scared
I look to the left and I find him right there
It's poison
Yeah, poison

And I watch these birds fly
And I cry, why can't I? Why can't I?
And I watch these birds fly
And I cry, why can't I? Why can't I?
