lyrics

Biting the serpents tail


Out of control, I feel the chemicals roll over my swollen tongue.
Hear the coyote howl as the sun goes down, the night has just begun.
Shiny orange eyes above an eagle’s beak staring from the sky.
Something crawling beneath my blistered feet, it’s shivering down my spine.

Oh no I need it tonight, watch how I go blind
And I know, this feelings not right, but these serpents never lie.
Biting the serpents tail, as I’m flying away, I’m dying today.

As I see it in the serpents eyes, watch me going down. Yeah I’m kneeling now.
This feeling in my bones, it caught me like a child, in the shelter of giant on his side.

Endless storms crossing the desert plain lifting me off my feet.
As the storm collides, I feel the thrill inside, it’s taking control over me.
Shedding this old skin, battered, broken and boiled, I leave it all behind.
Breaking with this shallow world, where every concept of thought already died in my mind.

I know, this feelings not right, but these serpents never lie.
Biting the serpents tail, as I’m flying away, I’m dying today.

As I see it in the serpents eyes, watch me going down. Yeah I’m kneeling now.
This feeling in my bones, it caught me like a child, in the shelter of giant on his side.

At its highest peak, the darkest secrets I keep are spilling out with rage.
This shivering face, crying poison and blood, is bursting into flames
As the ashes rise, the serpent’s spirit descents, my will put to sleep.
And in the darkest holes, I curl up and roll, buried six feet deep.

As I see it in the serpents eyes, watch me going down. Yeah I’m kneeling now.
This feeling in my bones, it caught me like a child, in the shelter of giant on his side.
It’s cyanide in my head, cyanide in my soul, I need it now.
