Common Death Adder

I’ll be standing at the edge of road, I’ll be the man at the end of his rope

Count the beats before the truck pulls up and savor silence while it’s there

Tossed in the back while naming stars a calming void in disrepair

I see their eyes feel them slithering

You’d think a charmer would accept his villainy

You gotta lotta nerve you fucking better believe

These scales show themselves so stylishly

Encircle your tail around my throat

So serpentine but I swear I didn’t know

So swallow me whole, break all of my bones

Spit me right back out, pray this venom will numb

They wanna talk, I got nothing to say, so speak for me stop your stuttering

You better not enunciate so wrap around my tongue rip it out of me

Encircle your tail around my throat

So serpentine but I swear I didn’t know

I think I feel them fangs again, let death rattle and panic hiss

We're writhing but can't seem to shed this skin

I map constellations from the puncture wounds you left

I call it ”Anxious the Uneasy”

His light’s always shining on me

Encircle your tail around my throat

So serpentine but I swear I didn’t know

I think I feel them fangs again, let death rattle and panic hiss

We're writhing but can't seem to shed this skin
