Snake in the Grass Songtext
von Despised Icon

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

Always had it your way, never compromised
Treating someone as a means to an end
Your intentions were never pure, no more lies
Relying on others, you try to blend in


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
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 ′til 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

Always had it your way, never compromised
Treating someone as a means to an end
Your intentions were never pure, no more lies
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
