You tell me that

Your physical beauty is poison.

I tell you, give it up.

You don’t need it!

You tell me that

Your vital impurity is poison.

I tell you, give it up

You don’t need it!

You tell me that

Your mental insecurity is poison.

I tell you, give it up

You don’t need it!

You tell me that

Your psychic uncertainty is poison.

I tell you, give it up.

You don’t need it!
