Heart's pumping venom straight into my soul.
I can’t contain it all; I thought you should know.
I see no reason I should partake,
push you away, ‘cause you can’t relate.
I want to make a difference, I want to do this right -
give meaning to life. To teach, learn, and grow,
improve and refine the future with our minds.
But man does such horror, that future ain’t so bright
out on the front lines. And I find myself bitter
and wanting to hide from culture’s changing tide.
But you’re not the reason - it's not right to take
my fear out on you. I push 'til you break,
and I fall right down with you. I fear I’m not strong
enough to weather this; I pray that I’m wrong.
Heart's pumping venom straight into my soul.
I can’t contain it all; I thought you should know.
I see no reason I should partake,
push you away, ‘cause you can’t relate.
Tossing and turning all of the night,
something’s not right. Regrets of past actions,
decaying self-worth and a hint of fight-or-flight.
Don't give me pity, it's not worth the time -
yours or mine. No time to feel sorry,
only repel the venom that's inside.
If your heart is broken, it's not mine to break.
I should have never made those mistakes.
It feels like it's treason, I’ve done you wrong.
I’ll have my sorrow, you’ll have this song.
Heart's pumping venom straight into my soul.
I can’t contain it all; I thought you should know.
I see no reason I should partake,
push you away, ‘cause you can’t relate.
Broken or bloodied, we'll make this work -
give the attention that you deserve.
All this pollution is clouding my mind...
There's a solution we'll have to find.
