Snake In The Grass

(album: Purgatory - 2019)

Snake in the grass
Wanted a song, now, you got one
All these years by your side
Now, we're all done
So self-absorbed
So you lie and you lie again
Manipulate all your friends
Until you're done with them

Walk away
Out of my life, you're fucking dead to me

Dodged a bullet
Deep down, I felt you were crooked
Kept ignoring my instinct, I knew it
You finally let you true colours shine on my birthday
Oh, what a wonderful gift
Bitch, you're dead to me

Would you swear on your life?
On your life
Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?

I guess we'll never know the truth
Made me question my sanity
Went to the other side and it changed me
Came back a different man
Found a new prey
Covered your trail
Your words are venomous
Always tipping the scales
The element of surprise, selective honesty
Cut through the smoke and denial
Love lost, throw away the key

Made me question my sanity
Went to the other side and it changed me
Came back a different man
I guess we'll never know the truth

Snake in the grass
Slithering around till you strike again
Switching your circle of friends, each time you reach the edge

You had your chance to end things right
Learned a valuable lesson
I won't even put up a fight, no

This is my final plea, you're dead to me

Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?
On your life
Look me dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?

I beg you, bless me with the truth
11:11, I beg you bless me with the truth
11:11, nothing but wishful thinking
11:11, every piece of the puzzle is finally in its right place
A fall from grace
