Sidewinders

Waist deep into the water
So convinced it’s alright
Dive on in if you really feel it will revive
If you feel you’ll survive

You should never close your eyes
Even if it appears alright
The current has a way of shedding light

Purest eyes lost your innocence
To these starving serpents that squeeze so tight
You will find their sick dark rants
Whisper beautiful harmonies intended to blind

Hissing absurdities in my eyes
Slither out from the filthy hole where you hide
You should save yourself
You’re no higher send your fire down

Swell to induce us all to have your way
Difficult not to feel disdain
The way you move the way you draw them
Down and in this treachery
Sickens me to the bitter end

Spit your lunacy in my eyes
Slither out from the filthy hole where you hide
You should save yourself
Passed off as higher almighty in your hooded shroud

Swell to induce us all to have your way, posturing
Intent to render fear
Unwavering ability to draw them in, hypnotize
Difficult to not watch you drown

You should get out while you’re alive

Pissing absurdities in my eyes
Slither back to the filthy hole where you hide
Sacrifice yourself, sell your fire

Send your fire down now blossoming intent to fuel despair
The way you move the way to draw them
Down and in this treachery
Sickens me till your bitter end
