They say the poison’s in the dose
And I’ve had my fill more than most

Can’t really say its been rosy for me
I’ve stumbled and stuttered and searched all over for the remedy

And God knows I’ve learned my lessons
It’s about time I be forgiven

Cuz how long must I wear this halo of misfortune?
And for how long must I take this on the chin?
Will I ever win?

They say it’s darkest before the dawn.
But my dark days are still going strong.

I’ve paid back my dues with a pound of flesh
But all I have gotten is crumbled and rotten under the stress

All I’ve done was follow my heart
But it looks like I’m leading in the dark
And I know that this too shall pass.
