Evil

 

Evil, evil serpents fly
In and out the devil’s fire
I feel the burning of the flesh
I smoked the herb and ate the rest

So I feel the other me
Hey old friend
Glad you see
No matter how far you go
Or where you hide
I am you
I’m still inside

Turn my head to rid the world
Coming back
Time has burst
No longer can I ease the pain
Not in sadness
You bring me shame

I am still inside of you
Growing, living
From the witch’s brew
Don’t you dare let them see
You can’t get rid of me so easily

They’ll take you away to a world I know you fear
Reality is waiting to devour your dreams
Your rules of morality
Will crumble in your hands
No one hears the words you hear
Whispered so lovingly inside your fears
It’s only you and I in here
Even he will think you mad

I see you
Don’t think I can’t
Explaining him your world
Our world
My damn world

I feel you forging a new reality
One where you no longer belong to me
I hate it
I’ll kill you before you achieve it

Evil, evil serpents fly
In and out the devil’s fire
Dancing bone of restless slaughter
You and I are one forever.
