Arsenic Lyrics

Guess it'll pass here in my bed

I set a ticking time bomb in my head

I set it off to punish my transgressions



As the poison makes its way

I'm watching as my hands begin to shake

And now it's just regrets and every second guess

Never thought we'd end up here that night when you said



The car's out back, let's see this through

They told me they had all this proof

I know what I have done is wrong

I sealed your fate and told the truth

Now the gallows hang for you



They'll find me here in a couple of days

I wonder what your wife and kids would say

He damn sure had it coming



They'll say I did it cause of shame

Cause I went and damned you to be safe

They'll say it's just as well, I hope he burns in hell

Guilt dealt him a hand that forced his fate just the same



I sealed your fate and told the truth

They told me they had all this proof

They said they'd found the rusted spade

And matched the footprints to your shoe

Now the gallows hang for you



This turned out to be my fatal mistake

And I'll take it to my grave

Say a prayer, my soul's at the stake

And there's not much left to save



I sealed your fate and told the truth

They told me they had all this proof

They said they'd found the rusted spade

And matched the footprints to your shoes

Now the gallows hang for you
