Adam Watts - Poison Soul lyrics

There's something dark and ugly growing inside I won't pretend that I am in the right It's getting worse every bitter day Part of the fall as I stand ashamed So until I figure how to change Stand back I'm a poison soul A foot in heaven, a foot in hell Stand back I'm a poison soul I drink from the poison well But I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself Stand back I'm a poison soul A raging animal lives in my chest Pounding the time, holding me hostage Just want everyone to understand I'm trying hard, doing what I can The underacheiving everyman This isn't how the story ends It's dark in the middle, but the light comes in The choice is mine to carry on or wave the flag Lord, I know that you see it all So you can see I have a fatal flaw… you know I want perfection in a box tied with a bow
