This is for the snakes and the people they bite;

For the friends I’ve made; for the sleepless nights;

For the warning signs I’ve completely ignored.

There’s an amount to take, reasons to take more.

It's no big surprise you turned out this way.

When they close their eyes and prayed you would change

And they cut your hair, and sent you away

You stopped by my house the night you escaped

With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay

You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fricken way”
