Lyrics Friends Are Poison - Prayers, Travis Barker

Friends Are Poison

My dues are paid, I paid them in full
Instead of giving credit, where the credit is due
They say that I changed, they say I’m no good
I never did them dirty, yet they run my name through the dirt (3x)
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
They’ll talk behind your back, they’ll lie to your face
They’ll kick you when you’re down, they’ll spit in your face
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
I would never dream of taking something I didn’t earn
Yet they’ve taken what’s mine, and they’ve taken their turn
I’ve seen their true colors, I’ve seen through their words
I let them drink from my cup until they quench their thirst
When I needed them the most, I had no friends just dirt (2x)
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
They’ll talk behind your back, they’ll lie to your face
They’ll kick you when you’re down, they’ll spit in your face
Friends are poison, friends are dead weight
I cut the head off a rat, I cut the tongue off a snake
Respect is earned, make no mistake
The sleeper has awakened, my path has been set
Loyalty has an expiration date
I said friends are poison, friends are dead weight
They’ll talk behind your back, they’ll lie to your face
They’ll kick you when you’re down, they’ll spit in your face
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
Born alone, die alone;
No faith, no hope, I walk alone
People make me feel, make me feel the most alone
I only feel the love, kill the love when I’m alone
Born alone, die alone;
No faith, no hope, I walk alone
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
Trust no one, trust no man
Believe in yourself and rise above the rest (2x)
Because friends are poison, friends are dead weight
