[Verse 1] The strongest poisons have the sweetest taste, You fed me the bile and told me it's sweet. You told me to drink it, with my questions erased, I succumbed to your power, alone in defeat. [Chorus] If the light will save me, Why does it burn when I touch it? If the darkness will bind me, Why does it offer such comfort? You poisoned me with your hatred and violence, You taught me to fear your powerfulness. You thought I would grow up with cowardice, But I was the one immune to your sickness [Verse 2] I've tasted the venom that you called love, Poisoned corruption leaving your tongue. When I was innocent, I drank its bitterness, Believing it sweet, but nevertheless... [Chorus] If the light will save me, Why does it burn when I touch it? If the darkness will bind me, Why does it offer such comfort? You poisoned me with your hatred and violence, You taught me to fear your powerfulness. You thought I would grow up with cowardice, But I was the one immune to your sickness [Bridge] I didn't know better, and you knew that too, That love wasn't bitter, painful threats of damnation. That sweetness didn't come with the cost of annihilation, I learned to accept the pain of your truth. [Outro] If the light will save me, Why does it burn when I touch it? If the darkness will bind me, Why does it offer such comfort? You poisoned me with your hatred and violence, You taught me to fear your powerfulness. You thought I would grow up with cowardice, But I was the one immune to your sickness
