Snake of Eden

The snake creeps around in your paradise, tasting the air, sly creature of Eden, cunning as the devil himself.
 It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit, there by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst
 When it turns your best into your worst
 From the beginning there was a snake
 Chewing on your conscience from within
 But were you really not aware that all along it was your own private sin?
 It watches you in your happy place, pushing you around a bit
 There by your side at your best moments when they turn to your worst
 It is so easy blaming everyone else for your choices
 But your priorities are your own
 It was so hard to consider our choices
 But in the end our priorities are our own
 Nobody is perfect, even Adam and Eve were fooled by the snake in you
 Slithering, deceiving, denying yourself and everyone else the truth
 I am sorry that your winning streak didn't last
 But it was you who threw it away
 The stakes were high and no one thought
 You would be the one to betray
 You blinded yourself
 Friendship has been fading, you didn't pay attention to their cries
 Did you not care or was it not worth a try?
 Maybe something else caught your eye
 Not realising the snake was you not I
 You were here in your happy place, puhing everyone around a bit
 There by your own side at your best moments
 And you turned them to your worst
 Nothing left to say now but goodbye
