Poisoned Knives

Let's just take things slow now.
You don't need to rush your mind.
Let's take it easy, please.
We know both aren't your type.

You need to calm yourself down,
Before you ruin your whole life.
Listen to the people around you,
Before they stab you with their poisoned knives.

The truth is, neither is gonna get you very far.
Maybe with distance, but we're not counting fast cars.
Don't buy into their deliciously deceiving lies,
Keep in mind all those long nights filled with cries.

Pain and failure has consumed you before.
You don't want to feel like that anymore.
Loved ones have been already let down.
Remember their smiles, and how they were replaced with frowns.

Let's just take things slow now.
