lyrics

The dialysis got rid of all the toxins in my bloodstream
But my heart kept bringing them in through all the ripped seams
Your venom's too addictive for me to leave behind
And it's worked its way up to my eyes to leave me blind

I was innocent before you decided to lead me astray
Your bites won't heal and always drive everyone away
But I'll take this last swig of confidence from my cup
So no one else can see how badly you fucked me up

Black mamba, beware
It's got you in its snare
Where'd it all go wrong?

Black mamba, beware
Engage if you dare
Where'd it all go wrong?

My brain runs on the fuel of question marks
My heart needed ignition and your infectious love was the spark
Now thoughts of you keep slithering inside my head
And they draw out any confidence to keep themselves fed

Every time I see you, my self-control turns to stone
I keep you close only to make myself feel more alone
Watch your venom turn my love into addiction
Spending so much money just to keep up my prescription

Black mamba, beware
It's got you in its snare
Where'd it all go wrong?

Black mamba, beware
Engage if you dare
Where'd it all go wrong?
