Poison
Glass Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But every time I try, I fall to my knees and say
What could I do to make things so much clearer
I need to change
I need change
I'm making sense of the mess you made
Your heart was the edge and my back was the blade
I've had enough of your manipulation
Your arrogant ways will be the death of me
Feels like I'm running in circles inside my mind
There's nothing left of me inside
I am the poison you let inside your veins
Coursing through your fingers
Things will never be the same
Every second, every hour, lost inside my head
My spirit breaks, bound by chains, everything inside is dead
What's the point of living in this depression
The cracks in the mirror void my own reflection
I am rotting away in this hell you call home
Every day is exactly the same
I have lost all motivation
Everything I touch turns to stone
It's a simple decision
I need it to survive
I am not alive
I am the poison you let inside your veins
Coursing through your fingers
Things will never be the same
I'm falling asleep as I realize my life is flashing before my eyes
Can this be the end of everything
Every second, every hour, lost inside my head
My spirit breaks, bound by chains, everything inside is dead
I am not alive

They feel manipulated and controlled, and the constant negativity has left them feeling like they are slowly dying.
The chorus "I am the poison you let inside your veins, coursing through your fingers, things will never be the same" highlights the destructive nature of the relationship, and the fact that both parties are contributing to the negativity. The singer feels like they are the "poison" that has infected the other person, and they can never go back to the way things used to be.
