Venom

Scoff at the warning signs
Crown yourself a god
Spitting the venom from your wounds
On whoever wants some
Too hard to know what’s on the line
Out there on your own
Ah, whatever gets you right
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
Seeking your vengeance
You fight for a wasted cause
Finding salvation in the pain
When you’re nailed to your cross
Your moment came to pay in blood
And how they screamed for more
I just couldn’t bear to look
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
And you’d give so much
But no one ever noticed
Your memories of
Whatever you loved
Won’t ever reflect
Your need to let someone
Get over your landmines
Hold down the throttle tight
Give yourself a lift
Don’t let the bottle pass you by
Fill your chalice up with
Ah, whatever gets you there
And you hit so hard
But no one ever listens
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
And you’d give
But no one ever noticed
When you cry out
Won’t someone take you in
