Rattlesnake Plain Lyrics - Blind Iris

Throughtout the years 

He's spent his time 

Looking for the price 

Hidden inside 

Found the cure 

Pain divine 

Put it on a page 

Watch it change 

Into a diary 

Sad memoirs 

Hidden in the book 

Is lie 

That took his heart 

And tore it out 

Rancor spins blades 

Harvest day 

Is long overdue 

Alone on a plain 

Mammoth clouds 

Of blown hope 

A new day fell 

Expired before him 

Got in his head 

Where it rattled inside 

Curled up like a snake 

Frightened, angry and blind 

He needs the blows 

Insight is found 

Circling around his head 

Knocked to the ground 

Real men get up 

They don't back down 

Undaunted by the challenge 

He faces 

Where do you go 

When your running from yourself? 

And you don't know the way 

To change direction. It's cold 

No fire. Outcome unknown 

Do you ask yourself why 

His luck started to change 

The day he realized 

He was caught in a web 

Of his inner most secret 

April 26, 1985 

Brought this all on myself 

Nobody made me 

No matter how far I get 

I've spent 

Too much time on drugs 

They only drained me 

Caged my mind 

For that I'd get 

Loss of words 

They ditched me in the night 

I burned up time 

Stagnent I'd ignite 

Inspiration bleeds from lost days 

So now I'll use it as bait
