Never nourish a viper I'm so young, and naive I Love way too soon, I trust far too deep And I lie, say I'm to keep Poison your trust as you inject your love into me I prefer you when you're high But you know I hate the substance and the freak-outs in the night Though I shed my skin away A serpent I remain Why are you trying when this Snake will never change? Tell the harlot who cries to the moon That the sea will never dry her eyes What she has is what I want And all we need is time Lascivious liars, I live a life so starved of hope Time is not our ally, we are tied by it as it were a rope Your kindness will betray him I think he knows being used Your venom lips I taste But he's helpless to the feeling I induce So prefer me when I'm high Cus I'm too afraid to come down Unmask what I am inside It's like nothing you'd believe I'm in love, yeah I'm in love And you won't tell me who to be Tell the young man who stares into the sea That the moon will never set him free What he has is what I want And all he needs is me He's young and naive I just wish she would promise me that she's Not just, another, ready to go down, you're wasted Jaded, f**ing around This is what I wanna do This ain't all about you Although you've been so very kind I'm getting on just fine I'm sorry baby But I never Loved you in that way As we lay together We will slowly fade to grey I, always the snake I'll never change Though you try to save me I, always the snake x 2 I'm not a bird with broken wings Tied to the ground and forced to sing You must accept the snake that you saw when you found me I'm sorry honey But I never Loved you in that way As we grow together We will slowly fade to grey I, always the snake You'll never change Though I tried to save you I am the snake I'll never change Never nourish a viper
