[Verse 1]
I was looking for the wrong way out
Empty road is like an open mouth
If I stay, they're gonna cast new doubt upon me now
If the sun is setting on my side
Like a vesper in the eventide
Then their lips are gonna open wide
Serpent tongue

[Pre Chorus]
How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you?
How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run?

[Chorus]
The venom is what keeps me alive
The venom is what keeps me alive
Up to the summit at night
Dеsperate to find that beating hеart of mine that always makes me run

[Verse 2]
Isolation if the road can't wind
Force of nature in a different time
Setting sun is gonna make me blind to my faults
Echo chamber in a canyon height
Take the exit where no one can hide
If their lips are gonna open wide
Serpent tongue
[Pre Chorus]
How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you?
How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run?

[Chorus]
The venom is what keeps me alive
The venom is what keeps me alive
Up to the summit at night
Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run

[Bridge]
I could not go on
Break me down and hold me 'til the dawn
Poison is the purposeful, it's gone
Desperate to find that beating heart
I could not go on
Break me down and hold me 'til the dawn
Poison is the purposeful, it's gone
Desperate to find that beating heart
And run

[Chorus]
The venom is what keeps me alive
The venom is what keeps me alive
Up to the summit at night
Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run
The venom is what keeps me alive
The venom is what keeps me alive
Up to the summit at night
Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run
The venom is what keeps me alive
The venom is what keeps me alive
