The blacklit domain of the snake in our brains
The wisest eyes, orbs woken from a dream
To see how pointless it all can seem
But what's the use, when razor kisses wrist?
Don't you feel it twist? (we're so)
Deaf to the thrashing, down in the dark place
But too much darker above.
Warm blood's despair spills blood that cools
across the floor.
Oblivion's spiral downwards
Lifeless coils unwinding one by one
Standing atop the mountain
Unchallenged paragon of beasts
Whose deadliest predator walked the same two legs
Kith and Kin -- rampaging far beyond
Piss-marked bounds
Melting rock into sword
Crushing grape into wine
In complement to the reptile
Whose fangs crowned our spine.
