Toxic Places, Toxic Spaces, Toxic People by Elle Madelyn copyright © 2015

Toxic Places, toxic Spaces, Toxic People, too

Memories my mind can't erase, they leave me only you

Spent 3 years of my own life just to escape your fire

Cut into me like a knife

Was your only desire

My friend, this bitter ending

No, more just stop pretending

This dream has turned to nightmare

You'll have to find someone else who'll care.

My mind reels at this conclusion, that I'm not for you

Darkness fades the burden lightens, Gray changes to blue

All along I knew a change was coming in the wind

The final curtain should have closed on us in the beginning.

This final ending, no more

Just stop pretending

Your true nature is on display

You only trust halfway, and always betray

Screaming and Screamin, Eternal state of being

Deep inside of me

Every pore, each moment more

I'm brimming at the seams

Chasing down these elements, unsure of the right way

Sand in my mouth, eyes are dry/ No words left, more to say

Tests been turned in, finals over--I thought I had done well

But the answers were returned to me all your tests I had failed

Back then, this bitter ending

No more, just stop pretending

Your dark intentions have come to light

You'll pay for all the pain that you incite.

Toxic Places, Toxic Spaces, Toxic People too

Memories my mind can't erase they leave me only you

All along I knew a change was coming in the wind

And the final curtain should have closed on us in the beginning.
