This song is about a drug addict.

Drink the wine, my darling, you said
Take your time, consume all of it
But the roses were only to drain my inspiration
The promises were spoiled before they left your lips and...
(They know the drug isn't judgmental, unlike everything in their lives.)

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison
(They do the drug over and over and over again, just to know that it's in their body. But they know that each time they escape from the world, they're slowly killing themselves.)

I tell myself that you're no good for me
I wish you well, but desire never leaves
I could fight this til the end
But maybe I don't want to win

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison
(They know that the drug isn't good for them, but they can't help but use it. they try to fight it, then realize maybe they don't want to win that fight.)

I don't wanna be saved, I don't wanna be sober
I want you on my mind, in my dreams behind these eyes
And I won't wake up, no not this time.

I breathe you in again just to feel you
Underneath my skin, holding on to
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

A familiar taste of poison
(They're dealing with depression, and they realize that this drug is helping them. They decide that they don't want help, they don't want to stop, they just want to end it. So they overdose and kill them self.)
