James Joyce
Poisoned
And if I tried to explain why
I failed my expectations of the end
I would probably only fail again
For words are hard to come by
And no one’s understood anything I’ve said
Especially when they seek the end

And I want to know
Why in my dreams I’ve sailed a thousand seas
But still I can’t believe the things I’ve seen
My eyes were covered
The hands were mine
Why in my dreams I’ve sailed a thousand seas
But still I can’t believе the things I’ve seen
My eyеs were covered
The hands were mine

I can’t trust myself anymore
I can’t warn myself anymore
I can’t save myself anymore
I can’t see the truth anymore
I’ve been poisoned by all the lies
By all the lies

I can’t trust myself anymore
I can’t save myself anymore
I can’t save myself anymore
I can’t see the truth anymore
I’ve been poisoned by all the lies
By all the lies
I can’t save myself anymore
I can’t save myself anymore
I can’t trust myself anymore
I can’t see the truth anymore

Fallen from my dreamscape
My worst opinion my greatest foe
I’ve fallen from my will to be
The drug is that of comfort
With where I am and what I’ll be
And comfort will be my great defeat

And I want to know
Why in my dreams I’ve sailed a thousand seas
But still I can’t believe the things I’ve seen
My eyes were covered
The hands were mine
Why in my dreams I’ve sailed a thousand seas
But still I can’t believe the things I’ve seen
My eyes were covered
The hands were mine

Every vessel needs a captain
And all good captains love the sea
But if the water was poisoned
Would the captain cease to be
While talking to my angels I was accused of lying
And then I drank the poison and my angels
My angels died
I’ve been poisoned, I can’t trust myself anymore
I’ve been poisoned, I can’t trust myself anymore

Every vessel needs a captain
And all good captains love the sea
But if the water was poisoned
Would the captain cease to be
While talking to my angels I was accused of lying
And then I drank the poison and my angels
My angels died

I can no longer see
I can no longer trust myself
I can no longer be what I was
And what I’ve seen
The water was poisoned
I drank the poison
I’ve been poisoned
