Soul Bleach Lyrics

[Intro]
Poison
Poison
Soul Bleach

[Verse 1]
Bow the fuck down to your new pariah
Coming to you live from a dumpster fire
So damn wrong, and I'm here to make it worse
Never born to be the hero, I'm the villain you deserve
Heart of stone, black as tar
Read my life like a book of scars
I'm no Superman, but I've got issues
First is trust, and the second's you

[Chorus]
God, a little trust is a dangerous thing
It's gonna kill, kill, kill you if you let it back in
A little trust is a dangerous thing
You gotta kill, kill, kill it if you want to be free

[Post-Chorus]
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

[Verse 2]
Oh, don't be so dramatic
Shit, you planned it
Took that shot like a calm assassin
Slowed your heart, turned off your conscience
Flipped that script and killed the hostage
Every villain's got an origin story
Every hero wanna put ‘em in a frame
Guess I shoulda read the warning signs
Guess mine’s getting hit by a freight train
[Chorus]
A little trust is a dangerous thing
It's gonna kill, kill, kill you if you let it back in
A little trust is a dangerous thing
You gotta kill, kill, kill it if you want to be free

[Post-Chorus]
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
You’re fucking poison

[Bridge]
Just let it die
Extinction's a blessing, it's all just perspective
If you wanna survive, here's my little lesson
Know you will bleed
Know you will suffer
And if you don't kill me...
If you don't kill me then fucker, you better run

[Breakdown]
You better run
Run
Let the past die, kill it if you have to

(I’ll be the nightmare)
(I’ll be the nightmare)
That lives in your mind
[Chorus]
A little trust is a dangerous thing
It's gonna kill, kill, kill you if you let it back in
A little trust is a dangerous thing
You gotta kill, kill, kill it if you want to be free

[Post-Chorus]
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

[Outro]
Soul Bleach
