Antidote

You’re a snake not one of the nice ones that won’t harm you in the garden Not a python that smothers you with love,

Till you are long gone

Not even a rattler that gives you a warning before they fill you with venom to die

But a cottonmouth viper that lurks in the water,

You bask in the comfort till the quick goodbye.

Oh you shot me with poison

Where I would die slowly

So lucky the antidote gave me my life

The needle it filled me with good friends and loveliness Rid me the sorrows of your toxic bite.

You said we were equals

I wanted you better

It shames me to say that she could be your wife,

I was just a small mouse that though I was bigger

And now you've created a creature of strife

I’ll bite you I’ll tear right into your skin

Cause you twisted me into the shape that I’m in

Tell me what do you see me as,

A viper, a critter, that slithers around trying to steal your dinner ?

Oh you shot me with poison

Where I would die slowly

So lucky the antidote gave me my life

The needle it filled me with good friends and loveliness Rid me the sorrows of your toxic bite.

Oh you shot me with poison

Where I would die slowly

So lucky the antidote gave me my life

The needle it filled me with good friends and loveliness

Rid me the sorrows of your toxic bite.

Oh you shot me with poison

Where I would die slowly

So lucky the antidote gave me my life

The needle it filled me with good friends and loveliness Rid me the sorrows of your toxic bite.
