		"Serpentine"

Burn down my bridges
so I don't spread disease
Touching you, I will infect
just let me run away

I can't find help
anywhere I've looked
Understanding eyes
don't love my poison anymore

If I could drain
I'd still have my fangs
I don't enjoy
being the venomous kind

Let it seep into you
eat you away
Don't come here crying
I can't even heal myself
