I can't escape the pressure of the serpents vice
The more I struggle then the tighter we entwine

I think I'm hypnotized by the look in your eyes
In this endless death grip paradise and I
Won't be the one to turn this hate into to love
'Cause nobody I could be is ever good enough

I'm my own rival
Can't keep from falling in a spiral
Can't just constrict my lungs and call it love
Forked tongue in cold blood out of spite
Come cure this neurotoxic mind
I got too close, then green eyes swallowed me whole
My ego decomposed, down to the bones exposed

I covet your ways
With a false praise
Hidden death gaze
Hit the coil then the fangs shall summon your grave
I don't wanna be the bad guy
But I gotta dark side
Draining prana power for the masquerade
I can't keep up with the charade
I got another screw loose and I can't change
I'm in the shadows from your blinding light, and it drives me so insane

I'm the one to eradicate the piper
Fall prey to the jaws of the viper
Yeah, entertain all my games but the green in my veins leaves the pain to decipher
Won't be the one to turn this hate into to love
'Cause you were destined to be greater than I ever was

I'm my own rival
Can't keep from falling in a spiral
Can't just constrict my lungs and call it love
Forked tongue in cold blood out of spite
Come cure this neurotoxic mind
I got too close, then green eyes swallowed me whole
My ego decomposed, down to the bones exposed

Don't care if it's blasphemy
I'll take your legacy
Rip the scales from my face, put myself in your place, got a problem with it?

Bite me!
Fucking bite
Me!

I'm my own rival
Can't keep from falling in a spiral
Can't just constrict my lungs and call it love
Forked tongue in cold blood out of spite
Come cure this neurotoxic mind
I got too close, then green eyes swallowed me whole
My ego decomposed, down to the bones exposed
