Poison
Hyper speed DnB mixed with 12 bar Blues. Features extremely rapid-fire percussion and wavetable synths for inventive effects and accents. F Minor, 85 BPM. AAB rhyming structure. Animated, slightly exasperated soulful male vocals with a hint of affection. Features a prolific hollow bodied, clean electric guitar. Driving walking bass lines. Solid muscular and heavy-footed drums. The groove is punctuated by stinging electric guitar runs and wailing, sustained notes. Guitar solo uses subtle dynamics, with each note conveying a sense of emotional weight. Guitar’s fast vibrato and string bending techniques create a deeply expressive, vocal-like quality. String bends are executed and vibrato is applied at the peak of the bend, sustaining the note with a rich, shimmering shake

Lyrics
Instrumental intro, short
Verse 1
I used to drink that poison, and it burned me to the bone
Yeah, I drank that poison whiskey, let it scorch me to the bone
It was the only friend I had when I was all alone
Verse 2
Then I met my baby, and I threw the bottle down
Yes I met my baby, and I threw that bottle down
Her sweet and lovin’ smile, picked me up Lord from the ground
Verse 3
Now years have passed between us, and her heart done turned cold
I said years passed between us, but her heart went stone cold
A darkness grew inside her, the same babe I used to hold
Instrumental break, guitar solo & synths
Verse 4
Late at night she gives me wine, with a strange and bitter taste
See there’s poison in that wine, with a strange and bitter taste
I drink to keep her happy, while my body goes to waste
Final Verse
Well I could leave and save myself, live to view another dawn
Just walk on out and save myself, gaze upon another dawn
But I love her more than livin’, so I’ll hang on ‘til I’m gone
Switched one poison for another, ohh that lonely road goes on…
Hey!
Instrumental outro
