If Your Poison Gets You Lyrics

We heard it all, in halls of pain
It wasn't good
There was a call, in baggage claim
It wasn't good
She had a hunch, it was't lunch
It wasn't good
I drove a spike into the punch
It wasn't good

Heaven's boys protect you
I am almost there
If your poison gets you
I will be on time
If you sink to madness
Say a little prayer
If your poison gets you
I am down the line

Heaven's boys protect you
I am almost there
If your poison gets you
I will be on time
If you sink to madness
Say a little prayer
If your poison gets you
I am down the line

Now once again to halls of pain
When will it end?
God's machines say it's your genes
When will it end?
Why has thou forsaken me, again and again?
You always said "When will it end?"
When will it end?

Heaven's boys protect you
I am almost there
If your poison gets you
I will be on time
If you sink to madness
Say a little prayer
If your poison gets you
I am down the line

Heaven's boys protect you
I am almost there
If your poison gets you
I will be on time
If you sink to madness
Say a little prayer
If your poison gets you
I am down the line

about a friend getting depressed...and you being there to help him/her...but there are other things that may help...like praying, but youll be there down in the line if he/she needs you.

I could be wrong, but I think this song is about a guy who's friend or girlfriend uses drugs/alcohol. He's saying that if she overdoses ("if your poison gets you") he's praying angels will look out for her and he's saying he'll get there for her as soon as he can.

"Now once again to halls of pain When will it end? God's machines say it's your genes When will it end? Why has thou forsaken me, again and again? You always said "When will it end?" When will it end?" ^^I think this is sort of about the endless cycle of people using drugs and all the pain it puts everyone through
