[Verse 1] I was looking for the wrong way out Empty road is like an open mouth If I stay they're gonna cast new doubt on me now If the sun is setting on my side Like a vesper in the eventide Then their lips are gonna open wide Serpent tongue How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you? How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run? [Chorus] The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Dеsperate to find that beating hеart of mine that always makes me run [Verse 2] Isolation if the road can't wind Force of nature in a different time Setting sun is gonna make me blind to my faults Echo chamber in a canyon height Take the exit where no one can hide If their lips are gonna open wide Serpent tongue How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you? How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run? [Chorus] The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run [Bridge] I could not go on Break me down and hold me till the dawn Poison is the purposeful, it's gone Desperate to find that beating heart I could not go on Break me down and hold me till the dawn Poison is the purposeful, it's gone Desperate to find that beating heart And run [Chorus] The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive
