Bitten By The Snake
You tossed a dart
straight into my heart
Bulls-eye
as if it were a picture
hanging on your wall
i could not believe
someday i would grieve
about how you left me
i have been bitten by the snake
i need someone to rescue me
to suck away all of the insanity
and now my tears fall to the floor
inside my head their rages a war
a conflict between two memories
your autumn hair just like the fall
of when you chose to end it all
i would dial your number to talk
but you'd never return my call
you tossed a dart
straight into my heart
Bulls-eye!
as if it were a picture
hanging on your wall
i could not believe
someday i would grieve
about how you left me
i look to the sky for something more
with every dream i have when i sleep
your face reappears more and more
sometimes i just feel like tearing down
all of your pictures on the inside of my locker door
i keep thinking that someday i would see
the two of us together again just you and me
but with every unanswered call i am reminded
there's no use dwelling over what cannot be
what's it like to be bitten by the snake
it's the sense from heart-break you try to make
what's it like to feel like your dying
inside of your soul it feels like life is crying
because all of a sudden life has a heart of its own
there is nothing else but the pain it feels
it only wants to be alone
you tossed a dart
oh how i loved you so
straight into my heart
oh you just don't know
if anybody asks
where did the smiles go
if anybody asks
love brought me low
if anybody asks
what's it like to be bitten by the snake
it's the sense from heart-break you try to make
what's it like to feel like your dying
inside of your soul it feels like life is crying
because all of a sudden life has a heart of its own
there is nothing else but the pain it feels
it only wants to be alone
but with tears in my eyes
if i shall rise i shall fall
for to rise without you
is to rise not at all
