Serpentine Songtext
von Van Friscia

Hard crash, coming fast
Tough as nails and fragile as glass
Two-faced dichotomy
As the fire burns inside of me

One man, pounding sand
A bitter pill to swallow in hand
Purgatory′s cleansing quell
Is it heaven, is it hell?

Never want you to feel like I'm not still missing you
Or ever think my feelings weren′t true
But seasons change and memories fray, fade away
Holding on to you in shades of gray

And I still feel the pain
But the venom's not the same
So ashamed, so afraid
Let me never forget that you were real


You were here
Time goes on and I fear
If it's safe that I heal
Can I find peace and yet still hold you near?
Yeah

Carry on, feels so wrong
Bipolar tears and then they′re gone
Serpentine grip defeats
As the guilt builds up inside of me

Sunshine hits my eyes
Guiding light that blinds me in my plight
Slithering into my mind
As I stand here frozen, stuck in time

Never want you to feel like I′m not still missing you
Or ever think my feelings weren't true
But seasons change and memories fray, fade away
Holding on to you in shades of gray

And I still feel the pain
But the venom′s not the same
Sinking fangs feed the shame
Let me never forget that you were real


You were here
Time goes on and I fear
If it's safe that I heal
Can I find peace and yet still hold you near?

And here comes the rain
′Cause the demon's still not slain
Searing pain, bleeding shame
Yeah, I see you, I feel you in my dreams

Slithering
Curled up tight, squeezing me
Struggling to break free
You unleash my grief and let me be
Serpentine

Serpentine hold on me
Struggling to break free
Slithering, torturing
Searing grief release me

Serpentine hold on me
Struggling to break free
Slithering, torturing
Searing grief release me

Serpentine hold on me
Struggling to break free
Slithering, torturing
Searing grief release me

Serpentine, serpentine
Serpentine, serpentine
Serpentine, serpentine
Serpentine, serpentine
