Liner Notes

There’s some wild titles in here

Lyrics

If you seek a way out
I’m not your poison
I’m just advising
I’m really pleasant
I’m like a present
And not a peasant

I’m not your poison
I’m not your end
I’m not the one who’s planned
To put a bullet trough your head
I’m not your poison

I’m the one who lights up the dark
When you can’t see your feet
I’m one who knows defeat
I’m just saying I don’t bring it
Well at least not to you

I’m not your poison
I’m not your end
I’m not the one who’s planned
To put a bullet trough your head
I’m not your poison

I’m pretty gracious
You best be grateful
Can’t find another
Who would spare you every time
For no bride nor sum of money

I’m not your poison
I’m not your end
I’m not the one who’s planned
To put a bullet trough your head
I’m not your poison

I’m not your poison, no
I’m not your poison, oh
I’m not your poison, no
I’m not your poison, oh
I’m not your poison, no
I’m not your poison, oh

You took the title and ran with that hook that really conveys the message.

I feel like you’re protesting a little too much ;)

This is a mix of oh Wow and Oh! Powerful and intriguing!

Great title. Your lyric really runs with the idea. Some graphic images included. I take hope from it that you are the poison. Nice write.

Why do I feel so unsettled after reading that? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Nice skirmish, I'm amazed at your speed. I love how it seems like the narrator is borderline nice (if a bit self-absorbed), until that gaslighting stanza starting with "I'm pretty gracious." Whoa!
