Serpents Grip

Like a shadow on the wall you creep

Soft steps in the still of my sleep

Your whispers

They cut

They seep

Through the cracks in my heart so deep

Oh serpent's grip

You pull me down

Wrap me tight

Spin me 'round

Quicksand love

I can't defend

You take my breath

You take my end

Your tongue drips honey

But it stings

Promises bound in broken rings

Eyes like fire

They burn and cling

I fall

I fall

To the poison you bring

I scream but the silence stays

Your lies

They fill my days

Oh serpent's grip

You pull me down

Wrap me tight

Spin me 'round

Quicksand love

I can't defend

You take my breath

You take my end

Venom flows through my veins so slow

Every heartbeat

I feel it grow

Chains unseen but they bind me so

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go
