Snake in the Grass - Much The Same

Wait for me by the sea

I’ll tell you everything you needed to believe

Through encoded messages and texts

Communication at its best, that’s me

Can’t you see me smiling

Through the teeth made out of wood?

This feint’s not working out so good, you see

I’m a bit of everything, a farce from the start

You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other

You’ll know the truth when you discover

I’m more than an inconvenient lover

I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief

This plot is not as thick as it seems to me

I’ll stand here outside in the cold

Waiting for an ally to relieve my post

A turncoat switched at your behest

Treason’s not so bad in jest, I’m told

My allegiance has been sold

An infiltrator in your care, a snake in the grass, I know you’re scared

But I won’t succumb to fear like a shade in the dark

You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other

You’ll know the truth when you discover

I’m more than an inconvenient lover

I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief

This plot is not as thick as it seems to me

Can you release me from this service

‘Cause no one here deserves this

The winds of change will clear the way

And leave me with a world to pave

You would bless me if you cursed this

‘Cause it’s too late to reverse this

We’ve come too far to clear the stain

I’ll build my house out of the waste

You were the ruse, you were the cover, of a deception like no other

You’ll know the truth when you discover

I’m more than an inconvenient lover

I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief

This plot is not as thick as it seems to me
