Blind Iris Rattlesnake Plain Lyrics

Rattlesnake Plain Lyrics

Throughtout the years

He's spent his time

Looking for the price

Hidden inside



Found the cure

Pain divine

Put it on a
page 

Watch it change



Into a diary

Sad memoirs

Hidden in the book

Is lie



That took his heart

And
tore it out

Rancor spins blades

Harvest day

Is long
overdue



Alone on a plain

Mammoth clouds

Of blown
hope

A new day fell

Expired before him

Got in his head

Where it rattled inside

Curled up like a snake 

Frightened, angry
and blind



He needs the blows

Insight is found

Circling
around his head

Knocked to the ground



Real men get up

They don't back down

Undaunted by the challenge

He faces



Where do you go

When your running from yourself?

And you
don't know the way

To change direction. It's cold

No fire.  Outcome
unknown

Do you ask yourself why

His luck started to change

The
day he realized 

He was caught in a web

Of his inner most secret



April 26, 1985



Brought this all on myself

Nobody
made me

No matter how far I get

I've spent

Too much time on
drugs 

They only drained me

Caged my mind 

For that I'd
get

Loss of words

They ditched me in the night

I burned up
time

Stagnent I'd ignite

Inspiration bleeds from lost days

So
now I'll use it as bait
