lyrics

you were so patient
you were constantly waiting
for someone you could confuse

I saw you slither in
the grass where you were hiding
I did not expect you to strike

sink your teeth into
my fear and feed your hunger
I feel your venom in my mind

your tongue was twitching
fears that I cannot fathom
your body becomes a noose

you were just waiting for me to fall

coil your body
around my spine and break it
fit my whole body in your mouth

you were just waiting for me to fall
I don’t know what in the world
you think you’re trying to pull
