The white snake

Chasing the white centre line on a motorcycle is not the wisest thing to do when you're grieving for lost love....

 

 

Take me to the edge

Make my knees bleed

Hold it by a groove

Rain like crystal bullets

Tears like crystal rain

Mesmerised by the white snake

Brain damaged before the event

The road to no where again

You can't overcome fear

Just put it away for a while

That's when you’re dangerous

Please let the fear return, soon

I've lost it tonight

Riding on the back of the white snake

Thinking of the scars on my hands

I shouldn't reach out so much

All my life before my eyes

Compressed into nothing

But alas, the tires are sliding

Across the road, I seem to be gliding

The end is not clear

But here comes the fear

The white snake is feeding

Behold, I am bleeding

Standing in a pool of blood

Physical pain is clean

Spiritual thoughts turn to mud

The darkness is obscene

My body is broken; I’m no longer young

The pain is easy, but there are lots more to come

From the woman with the scalpel tongue

She cuts me to pieces

Until there's nothing left to hurt

There's nothing left to fear

There’s nothing left

Carefree, careless

Forever
