Love is a Snake

Verse

Cold eyes in the midnight glare

Silver tongue with a devil’s stare

Whispers wrapped in velvet lies

Poison hiding in disguise

You slithered through my guarded mind

Left your venom intertwined

Fangs behind a pretty face

Coiled tight in my embrace

Pre-chorus

You strike when I’m vulnerable

You make the pain feel beautiful

Chorus

Love is a snake!

It coils around your heart till it breaks

A venom kiss, a cruel mistake

Every promise starts to shake

Love is a snake!

Love is a snake!

It waits in shadows wide awake

You feel the bite, your soul it takes

No mercy in the path it makes

Love is a snake!

Verse

Skin like fire, touch like ice

Paradise with a hidden price

Rattle shaking in my chest

War between my heart and head

Every hiss a sweet deceit

Pulling me beneath your feet

Hypnotized by emerald eyes

Dancing with my own demise

Pre-chorus

You shed your skin, but not your lies

I see the truth behind your eyes

Chorus

Love is a snake!

It coils around your heart till it breaks

A venom kiss, a cruel mistake

Every promise starts to shake

Love is a snake!

Bridge

Strike! — Feel the venom run

Strike! — Damage done

Wrapped in obsession

Crushed by confession

Choking on affection

No resurrection

You said forever —

But forever sheds its skin!

You said you’d never —

Let the darkness in!

Chorus

Love is a snake!

A silent hunter in heartbreak

It tastes your fear with every ache

Leaves you shattered in its wake

Love is a snake!

Love is a snake!

No antidote that I can take

It sinks its fangs and seals your fate

Too late… too late…

Love… is… a… SNAKE!
