Serpents - Grieves

I was in the second grade when you pushed me out the

Third story window to the bushes down below

Breathing in the cold

As I tumbled through the vines' thorns smiling at my throat

I, I saw the devil in you that day

Looking down at me with that face

Smiling like you would have hid my body in the basement

Body in the Basement

But you got something that the world’s been running from

For way too long and it’s a sick twist

A nervous little twitch

Dragging the razors across my wrists

And you got something that the world’s been trying to hide

You’re cyanide

Cause the only thing you told me was

They’d never find my body in the basement

Body in the basement, no

Every time I think about you now I go crazy

People ask me about you

I don’t know what to say

Cause I don’t know who you are

I wonder if it’s even possible for you to escape this

Keep on asking about you

They don’t know what to tell me

They don’t know who you are

I was listening through the wall when you met your monsters

Heard’em break the closet door and take you away

Hoping you would change like the color of the moonlight

Bouncing off the rain

I, I heard the devil in you that day

Watch the world around you cascade

Laughing like you would have fed your family to the serpent

You got something that the world won’t talk about

They walk around it

It’s deep sleep, crawling in the street

Pushing the bayonet into me

You got something that the world keeps trapped inside

You aconite

Cause I watched you turn around

Go and try to feed you family to the serpent

Family to the serpent whole

These words won’t break on you I know

I’ve done my best to help so many times before

These words won’t break on you I know

I’ve done my best to help
