Nothing Left to Fend

Obviously my feelings mean nothing at all
I'm the chopping block
That hangs from the wall

Blood is thicker then water is what they say
Vinegar is what runs through my veins
Venum even, it should frighten you away

Toxic waste dump in my brain
But only men seem to be poisoned
Maybe they should refrain

Yet they come to woo me
Don't they know I'm like a Black Widow Spider
Just waiting for my time to get free

Maybe a cobra that spits the venum in his eye
On some back street or dark alley
You lay there to die

If you heard all the war stories you'd think it true
I'm evil incarnate, just waiting
Waiting to masacre you

All their friggen' lies are forgotten in the end
Throw the blame on me, I'm used to it
I have nothing left to fend

I am just a dark angel with a dark veil
Waiting to cause you misery
And then to set sail

Watching from the distance as you cry
It never once occured to you
To even wonder why

Or, is the venum coming from you?
Did I get a lethal dose this time?
No such luck, just enough to make me spew!
