Snakes - Slow Gherkin

My mind split in two

Filthy and cruel

The other side will moralize like censors do

And though they fight, they’re both inside

So which is more true?

That sounds like something I would do

Turn around and ask, «What just happened?»

That sounds like something I would do

Forever falling in that trap

Your weaknesses show

Much more than you know

And the truth always eludes

That sounds like something I would do

Thousands of snakes

Crawl up my legs

AND EVERY NIGHT

I HEAR A KNOCK UPON MY DOOR

As I lie and itch, I know that it’s

My sins they’re coming for

That sounds like something I would do

Doesn’t matter what you said to me

That sounds like something I would do

It’s all in the delievery

Just measure me by

How well I can lie

And I’ll shoot right through the roof

That sounds like something I would do

Please, can you free me from my vanity

I am a prisoner and I swallowed my own key
