Snake Bit

Snake bit
 You went down into the dark black pit
 In my elbow's inner hollow
 Snake bit
 Without you life was just a black pit
 You should have never tried to follow
 I set out with my telecaster
 To charm the bouncer at the pearly gates
 I was trying to avert disaster
 It was already too late
 When they called me in to grant your favor
 I was starting to accept my fate
 You stood there like some kind of savior
 It should have been a piece of cake

 You wept
 For a chance to bring me back from death
 I never learned to let go
 I wept
 You sang into that black pit of death
 And hell, it opened like a red rose
 I heard my favorite song
 Blood flowed from my fingers
 To make a path to guide you on
 But you should have let me linger
 Since you left me I've been haunted
 Yeah I shuffled off that mortal chain
 You never asked me what I really wanted
 You left me in a world of pain

 Gods take pity on me
 Let me strike a devil's bargain
 I would do anything
 To bring her back outside your garden
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all, i'd give it up
 i'd give it all
 Snake bit
 You went down into the dark black pit
 And I brought you out behind me
 Came to rescue though I never asked it
 Why didn't you remind me
 There was only one condition
 No looking back to see your face
 You could have been an apparition
 You had to take it all on faith
 Did you think you could just waltz in here
 And carry me away
 I made you turn back at the final moment
 You were calling out my name
 Face it
 You were left alone when death hit
 I sang all night over your body
 Wasted
 What's a song if no one's there who hears it
 I needed you beside me
