The snake constricts around your arm you think you understand you think you can control it you've got your naive plan everything in moderation one day at a time the snake constricts around your arm your veins are choked with ice The snake is wrapped around your heart you search for seeping life doctors are all lying scum late at night you die a rasping breath, the final sound of air through broken lungs medals tarnished, lawn unmowed and silence from the guns The snake is ever present now and i cannot be free leering faces, twisted truth tearing at the seams one night can wash away the pain one night stained with blood so take your sharpened serpents fang and drive it through your guts...Birth sign: Leo
