SHEDDING SKIN

Made a deal with the serpent on the descent
Told me to hold my tongue and digest the rest
Regurgitate remains of limbs
Patiently wait for a slip in your judgment
Tied to your oath and made to beg
Shedding skin in your moment of passing

I made a deal with the serpent on the descent
And then told me to tighten the grip and go for the neck
Deep in my gut, your world turns over
Slither away from a higher power
Shedding skin, crushing ribs while you pass
Contract and feel the fucking airways collapse

I made a deal with the serpent
