Rattlesnake Plain Lyrics

Throughtout the years

He's spent his time

Looking for the price

Hidden inside

Found the cure

Pain divine

Put it on a page

Watch it change

Into a diary

Sad memoirs

Hidden in the book

Is lie

That took his heart

And tore it out

Rancor spins blades

Harvest day

Is long overdue

Alone on a plain

Mammoth clouds

Of blown hope

A new day fell

Expired before him

Got in his head

Where it rattled inside

Curled up like a snake

Frightened, angry and blind

He needs the blows

Insight is found

Circling around his head

Knocked to the ground

Real men get up

They don't back down

Undaunted by the challenge

He faces

Where do you go

When your running from yourself?

And you don't know the way

To change direction. It's cold

No fire. Outcome unknown

Do you ask yourself why

His luck started to change

The day he realized

He was caught in a web

Of his inner most secret

April 26, 1985

Brought this all on myself

Nobody made me

No matter how far I get

I've spent

Too much time on drugs

They only drained me

Caged my mind

For that I'd get

Loss of words

They ditched me in the night

I burned up time

Stagnent I'd ignite

Inspiration bleeds from lost days

So now I'll use it as bait
