Poisonous Heart
Tender kisses of innocence Creating a mystical fire
Memories of intense purity
Mask the joker's simple desire
Crumbling concrete walls Revealing the hidden key
Opening a wounded heart Pretending to set the evil free
A man with magician's tricks And an illusionary smile
A man with a tainted past Another number in his pile
The broken heart in his hand Stained from tears in her eyes
Erased is any future them She's another victim of his lies
Searching for his soul mate Leaving hopefuls far behind
Crushed to their own devices
He just erases it from his mind
Kisses once of innocence
Shattering all dreams on fire
Reveal the charred broken heart
Of a man who's truth is a liar!
