Poison Apple Mixer

You can keep your poison apples
Your looks could kill me faster
But oh oh darlin what a
What a wonderful way to go
And I'm ten feet deep in snow drifts
Feeling numb and mindless
This world is taking me
But I won't go down with it
Cause I got a reason.
Mmmhmm.
To push cold winds away.

And oh my appetites
Gone missing
And I can't oh no I can't
Speak without shaking
What's a girl to do
I'm so hung up on you.
But I oh, I think
I think that I like it.

And I've never belonged to anyone
So what's the problem?
The wind, the wind it carries me a-way.
And I feed on memories that don't feel like
Mine to keep
But for once could I oh could I
Just love something?
And I keep waiting for a sign.
To point the way to better days.
Cause all the ones I know
Point me everywhere but
Where I wanna go
But I guess I'll figure
It out or die trying.

And oh my appetites
Gone missing
And I can't oh no I can't
Speak without shaking
What's a girl to do
I'm so hung up on you.
But I oh, I think that I like it.

And there's a price to be had
For laughing
You learn to pay
Yea you pay in blood
To be happy.
And life gets hard sometimes
When you're drinking all the time
Buying slow death
To mix with
Warm bodies for comfort.
But I got a reason to keep smiling.
Cause I just threw my cares away.
A nights are hard sometimes.
With cold words stuck on rewind
But someday
I know I'll get away.

And oh my appetites
Gone missing
And I can't oh no I can't
Speak without shaking
What's a girl to do
I'm so hung up on you.
But I oh, I think that I like it.

And why do we keep
With these distractions?
New loves to
Carry our thoughts away?
From old lives
And ugly lies
So we can sleep at night.
And forget all our old
Distractions.
There's a warm body
On the other side of the pillow
But he knows he's just passing through.
Cause there's no room in
My heart for lovers
Just there to move my thoughts
To something new.

And I got a boy who says he
Loves me.
And I can tell he's playing
For keeps.
But I don't like his eyes
Or the way he apologizes,
But I sure love the way
He says goodnight.
And I need someone
Oh to hold me
While I wait for better love.
And I'm wishing
On the sky
For some kind of appetite
That will make me hungry
For someone who's nicer than I am.

But I got a reason to keep smiling
Cause I know the end is far away
And I've got lots of time
To meet a love of mine
That won't leave my chest cold
Or wide open.
So hey baby
You know I kinda like you
And well I,
I think you like me too.
And maybe I'll wake up sometime
With you there by my side
And just maybe you won't
Just be someone to pass
The nights with.
