Father Figure

yeah, you're the king snake

gliding through the grass

all attempts to catch you have ended

in empty grasps

you slid into our hearts'

and unleashed your venemous tongue

it's now more than i can stand to see you continue on

ever the sarcastic one, i can see

your forked tongue flicker between your lips

tasting the wind finding someone else to lie to again

bearing nothing but an armful of empty promises

your arms spread wide open with a dagger's embrace

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again

i can't manage to look you in your eyes now,

without trying to burn a hole right through your head

these every day masquerades only serve to make my heart sick

yeah, you're the king snake

gliding through the grass

all attempts to catch you have ended

in empty grasps

you slid into our hearts'

and unleashed your venemous tongue

it's now more than i can stand to see you continue on

your arms spread wide open with a dagger's embrace

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again

i can see right through you

ever the sarcastic one, i can see

your forked tongue flicker between your lips

tasting the wind finding someone else to lie to again

bearing nothing but an armful of empty promises

your continued existence is meaningless

someday you'll learn of all the pain you've made

and i hope that realization will bring you to your knees

that you have led a life

hurting those who could have loved you most

your continued existence is meaningless

i can't manage to look you in your eyes now

without trying to burn a hole right through your head

these everyday masquerades only serve to make my heart sick

oh yeah, you're the great deciever

your arms spread wide open,

with a poisoned embrace

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again
