Stole my sanctuary
Kissed my creation
With your lips of poison
Your drugs are quick, but my mind is quicker
Thus I won’t let it die, but it might get sicker
By your poison
Dear William did not write this story’s death
So you cannot steal the honey from my breathe
Oh with your poison

Thus I won’t let it die, but it might get sicker by your poison

Your drugs are quick, but my mind is quicker
Thus I won’t let it die, but it might get sicker
By your poison
You are poison to me
O true apothecary
Stole my sanctuary
Kissed my creation
With your lips of

Your drugs are quick, but my mind is quicker
Thus I won’t let it die, but it might get sicker
With your poison

O true apothecary
Stole my sanctuary
Kissed my creation
With your lips of
