this is for the snakes and the people they bite
for the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights
for the warning signs I've completely ignored

and they cut your hair and sent you away
you stopped by my house the night you escaped
with tears in my eyes I begged you to stay
you said "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way
