Hemlock

I like to think I'm harmless,
I've got a thing about it
I cherish the innocence
and live volatile
Take from it what I need,
build monuments for it,
and think it harmless to hurt everyone

I like to think I'm helpless
when acting out self-pity
and summing up the story
and falling at your feet
I hope that I'm still hopeful
when writing love letters
that make you forget
everything I've done

I've got a lock on time
to break and to bruise
I've got a lock on time,
I've earned a right of passage
