It is so tempting...
It is so tempting...
Uncertainty claws at me.
Which way is right?
It's too shadowy to see.
I cannot choose-
I know you're a lie,
But the pull towards you
Is so strong that I...
Cannot tell left from right,
Right from wrong;
Fire from water,
Weeping from song.
You're a deceiver,
A weaver of lies,
I long to run,
To heed those inner cries.
Trapped between two paths,
A critical choice to make-
You blind me with falsehoods,
A blue-eyed, conniving snake.
And then the truth awakens,
The time to choose draws near.
I face you with defiance,
My decision is now clear...
I'll leave you, fell serpent,
I won't be caught in your snare-
I rid myself of you.
Try another day... if you dare.
