Hey, you wait, cringing in the dark, you create what you always fear 
A puppet of hatred, dishing out poison 
You use me for bait, your begging bowl of lies, 
chain letters of sniveling compromise 
I can smell the difference, your truth and your fiction, you and your 
Twisted convictions 


Were you my friend when I belonged? 
Were you my friend when I was strong? 
Were you my friend when I was weak? 
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head? 


Cold, like your blood, the snake is always cool 
When things get tough, you slither on the ground 
You cover up your tracks when I’m around 
It’s over now my friend, your dog has had its day 
It’s payback time for what you had to say 
You’re stuck with the life you made, 
Stuck with the plans you made 
Stuck with everything you are 


Were you my friend when I belonged? 
Were you my friend when I was strong? 
Were you my friend when I was weak? 
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head? 


Everything’s gonna happen now, everything’s gonna happen now 
Everything’s gonna happen now, everything’s gonna happen now 


Were you my friend when I belonged? 
Were you my friend when I was strong? 
Were you my friend when I was weak? 
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head? 


Crawling, calling, out of my head 
Crawling, calling, out of my head
