Serpent


Where did I go wrong
For me to lose my faith
Close to my heart
So far from me

Disillusioned with myself
Heart is torn two different ways
And with every move I make
Terror tears me a bit more

Thinking things I should not think
To walk in someone else's shoes
Right now those shoes look kind of good
But they are shoes that I just can't afford

I need a change
And I know where to go
Would I be accepted there?
And could I return?
I don't think so

Temptation and I need a drink
The pleasure is in my reach
I want to taste what isn't mine
Then I want to make it mine


Just a touch is all I need, it's all I ask
I know it's not the same that's why I want
And although I should feel ashamed
I tell myself I'm not the one to blame

I need to know
What the next demon's like
Is it so different there?
And is it really worth the pain?
Well, I don't know

Take me back to when I had no need
Before vacation showed it's evil face
And get me back where I belong
