Father Figure Lyrics

Father Figure

yeah, you're the king snake 

gliding through the grass 

all attempts to catch you have ended 

in empty grasps 

you slid into our hearts' 

and unleashed your venemous tongue 

it's now more than i can stand to see you continue on 

ever the sarcastic one, i can see 

your forked tongue flicker between your lips 

tasting the wind finding someone else to lie to again 

bearing nothing but an armful of empty promises 



your arms spread wide open with a dagger's embrace 

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again 



i can't manage to look you in your eyes now, 

without trying to burn a hole right through your head 

these every day masquerades only serve to make my heart sick 



yeah, you're the king snake 

gliding through the grass 

all attempts to catch you have ended 

in empty grasps 

you slid into our hearts' 

and unleashed your venemous tongue 

it's now more than i can stand to see you continue on 



your arms spread wide open with a dagger's embrace 

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again 

i can see right through you 



ever the sarcastic one, i can see 

your forked tongue flicker between your lips 

tasting the wind finding someone else to lie to again 

bearing nothing but an armful of empty promises 

your continued existence is meaningless 



someday you'll learn of all the pain you've made 

and i hope that realization will bring you to your knees 

that you have led a life 

hurting those who could have loved you most 

your continued existence is meaningless 



i can't manage to look you in your eyes now 

without trying to burn a hole right through your head 

these everyday masquerades only serve to make my heart sick 

oh yeah, you're the great deciever 



your arms spread wide open, 

with a poisoned embrace 

i won't believe your poisoned words ever again
