Vices Like Vipers

Your scarlet soaked and bold and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones

Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more

It's rising against all the walls we built for falling

All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near

It's the wool to hide the wolves

And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm

But I did not shed that skin like You said

When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving

and when the bricks start to fall, I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark

Vices like vipers

Speak in whispers

My heel's the meat to sink their teeth

Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!"

This is what it took for me to see

WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound

Slithering in the shade of a sinking church

Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning

So this is the warning, You fall to learn

And to the girls

You're worth more than the cheap words

You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more

Hear me, it's not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty

This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency

Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down?

Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground!

Vices like vipers

Speak in whispers

My heel's the meat to sink their teeth

Like the viper

I kept when You said: Let go!

Since all the alibis of ignorance are void

This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts

Take, my lust, this world's Love

Great Counselor, take what's left

Great Counselor, take what's left of me
