Sammy Maestas - Snake in the Grotto

First step outta bed, blood's dripping down my leg
Look into the mirror, my reflection's turning red
Don't know why I'm trippin, did I fall and hit my head
And I don't want to say it, but I'm thinking that I'm dead
Again, tell me where I left my friends
Hear the reaper coming and I want 'em in the end
Everything around me is becoming what dread
Peer across the room, and suddenly I see ahead
At the end there's a doorway, but it seems to go to nowhere
Take a step back, but its beckoning me forward
Toward the void, but my movement is ignored
Feel adored by a force as it steers me like a horse
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
I didn't think I'd end up without anywhere to run
I wanna look outside and see the sun
But I can't help feel like I'm driven by a gun
I don't know where I'm supposed to go
I've been stuck in this hole with no way home
I feel so alone, only the floor to console
And that's how it shows

Cuz there's a snake in the grotto
It slithers in shadows
Where you go it'll follow
Haunt everyone you know
So take your ass to Colorado
Hide your head in the snow
Cuz there's a snake in the grotto
It's the root of your sorrow

It's humming along
As it prays on your downfall
And it won't shut up as it poisons your love
It's deadly though it sits down below
It likes to come, some days it's gone
Rides throughout my highs and lows
No defense against my own
So tell me why its broke my bones
I thought the dirt would never hurt me
But it does when its in flurries
But it just goes to show

That there's a snake in the grotto
It slithers in shadows
And where you go it'll follow
Haunt everyone you know
So take your ass to Colorado
Hide your head in the snow
But there's a snake in the grotto
It's the root of your sorrow

Forever I'll be walking I guess
Maybe I'm just trapped in my head
But that's the only way it makes sense
And I've been so out of line
Don't know why I cry
It makes me go blind
So grab my hand
Keep me close to the plan
The snake leads down holes and I can never get back
But I see the gold, I see the rose
Through the cold of the fog
And I know how to move on

Through the snake in the grotto
It slithers in shadows
And where you go it'll follow
Haunt everyone you know
Take your ass to Colorado
Hide your head in the snow
But there's a snake in the grotto
It's the root of your sorrow

There's a snake in the grotto
It slithers in shadows
And where you go it'll follow
Haunt everyone you know
So take your ass to Colorado
Hide your head in the snow
But there's a snake in the grotto
It's the root of your sorrow
