[Verse 1]
Comes way after midnight
Slinks around the alleys of your mind
Wakes you and you're breathless
Cannot figure out what's deep inside you
[Chorus]
A strike will come you'll least expect
Oh no
A snakebite coming from inside your mind
[Verse 2]
Wide eyed, left in wonder
In the dark the poison feeds your mind
Praying for an angel
A spirit in your heart you've left enshrined, oh
[Chorus]
There's no rescue there's no escape
Oh no
A snakebite coming from inside your mind
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
How much longer can you stand this
Anxiety, the guilt, the fear, the doubt
A coiling hiss of madness
At its will a tongue that lashes out, oh
[Chorus]
Your heart will pound out deep regrets
Oh no
A snakebite coming from inside your mind
[Outro]
A snakebite coming from inside
A snakebite coming from inside
A snakebite coming from inside
Your mind
Snakebite was written by Paul Gilbert & Scott Travis.
