Alkaline Trio Lead Poisoning song lyrics

Choking slowly, brokenhearted

Don't look now, here's what you started

I swore I'd be there 'til the end, we're bitter now but better friends

I climbed out limbless to the ledge to bask in my last true regret

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep

And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep

Lay my heavy head here down to dream

And wake up with this lead poisoning

Sobbing softly, lost and hollow

This fever dream's a pill to swallow

I swore I'd be there 'til the end, you're better off, your bitterness

I climbed out lifeless to the edge, I waved goodbye and left, I...

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep

And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep

Lay my heavy head here down to dream

Awaken to the blood and sweat and screams

Woke up here on Monday morning, this old street, on this dark corner

Waiting here for what tomorrow brings

Silver lake, mercury mining, this mistake, no silver lining

Waiting for a bullet train to bring me my lead poisoning

My lead poisoning

Lay my heavy head here down to sleep

And I'll pray to a brass fist my soul to keep

Lay my heavy head here down to dream

And wake up with this lead poisoning
