Back on your face
In more than one place
Your cheap tricks to get rid of me didn't work to well
Instead I grew more and swelled
Blackened because of you picking at me
Left marks
Ignored my warnings
Ruined my fun
So I ruined what you liked the most
Right at the center of your face
For all to see
You thought when I went away
It was the end of me
But I just hid undercover
Waiting for the perfect moment
I show at the worst times
When you least expect it
And if somehow
You find a way to suppress me
I'll be back to show a third time

Leaves crumble beneath their feet
Apes,snakes and wild things
Not safe on the ground
So the weak hide high above in the trees
Stinging bugs
Equipped with poisonous drugs
Spiders hide under logs waiting to ambush
Vines hang low a nature made swing
Blood stained leaves
The aftermath of a prowling tiger
Birds shout from above
As the victim is hauled away like a rug
Fallen trees tell a story
Army ants march in formation
Taking shrubs leaves and hacked up bugs back to there base
Nectar seeking flies get caught in hungry plants
Wanting each other for supper
The unsuspecting get snatched up
The jungle stomach grumbles
Its hunger only grows
Its never satisfied

Heat seeker
But cold blooded
Constrictor
Tongue twisssster
Hisser and injector
I can taste you from a far
Fear my strike
Im like lightning when I bite
Hidden among the dead leaves
Camouflaged high above in the trees
You aren't safe from me
I'll find you
Squeeze the life out of you
And when you can no longer breath
Swallow you whole
From head to toe
Killer of many
Enemy of most
Fear, none
I slither amongst the ground
Leaving my scale prints bound
Stubble across me you're likely to die
Kiss you with a corrosive liquid
The last thing you'll see while your alive
Is the death in my eyes
I was born a killer

I hate that I love you
But love that I hate you
Two feelings intertwined
Playing tricks with the mind
The feeling of loves keeps me on track to you
But your faults twist like vines
Then hate comes between the lines
Staining the love I have
Like spilt red wine
I love you
And hate you
Two feelings conflicting at the same time

I hate the things you've said and done
But you have won
Capture the heart and it's all yours to toy with
I feel like I'm drowning
You're making me drown
Getting so far down, I'm suffocating
But in an instant you pull me back
You saved me
You're my hero and my villain
I hate that I love you
But love that I hate you

Why are we running
We run because of the need to feed
To provide for our offspring's after the breed
I stalk you from a far
Picking out the weak, got you in my sights
Our speed makes you wish you were more camouflage in the brush
Already upon you in a rush
Kicking up dust
Startled you
Slowed your reflex's just enough
Usually a solo hunter
But there's an extra pair of 8 feet running next to me
Hunting tactics in synch
Chasing you through the dusty plains
I run you in their direction
So they can sweep you off your feet
Like a midnight affair
As they sink their claws into your legs
I watch as your body and the ground meets  
I circle you panting while they hold you at bay
The white in your eyes show
You know you've become prey
Waiting for you to stretch your neck out for a second wind
Then ill strike and put this battle to a end

I open my eyes
Trying to grab composer
Like it slipped from my hand
I choke on the smoke in the air
It rips through my lungs
Every breath I feel closer to death
My head pounds
Like I been hit by a truck
I try to move no luck
As the smoke clears I finally see
A pole is the cause
There's a cracks in the windshield
From where my head met the glass
There's a smash on the passenger side
From where someone flew through
Must be this mystery person
I can't remember who
A lifeless corpse on the hood
Face shredded like cheese
Skin melting from the heat of the hood
I hear the cracking of fire
An the scent of gasoline
Everything is happening so fast
I can't remember what happen to me
So lets go back to the beginning
The memory of my past may not might be so great
But remembering what got me here
Might change my fate

Who knew I'd ever tell you
The words I like you seemed lost
When thought up
They broke into pieces
Were swept away
Like a bottle out to sea
Couldn't find the words to tell you
So I left hints
Like signs on a trail
Hoping to point you in the right direction
But they failed
Hoping you would catch one like a fish on a hook
But watching them fly over your head
Felt like I was eating nails
But the fear of you going away
Was enough to propel
The words out of me
This change of events scares me
And who knows if we can bend this I enough and form an us
Maybe there's things I still can't tell
So my words stay unspoken
