Despised Icon - Snake in the Grass lyrics

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 your true colours
Shine on my birthday
Oh, what a wonderful gift
Bitch, 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
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 it's right place
A fall from grace
