Same serpent New skin She hisses A fantasy As she slithers in My vulnerability A weakness An opportunity to Sell a dream The bitter Sheathed in sweetness I swallowed the lie And it tasted delicious Like fresh mint Crushed Into a summer mojito Cool and crisp Now where do we go? How about Lake houses And concerts Front porches And desserts Then you can Take me to the beach Choke me in sand Call me a king While twisting me into A pawn whose silver You leach No longer a friend But a means to an End You held my grief In the palm Of your hand Then squeezed it Like a lime What an unholy Crime The scales have tipped Your ruse has been revealed The well is poisoned Your wine congealed You are nothing But a chapter In my story Watch as I Flame your pages In resplendent Glory And Dermot sang of A raven and a dove But in your version Of a kingdom Both don’t fly free Remember me, Oh viper The blackbird With a cigarette lighter Because You’ve been flinted Deleted And I’m newly Minted Recoil from my shine As the truth Burns your eyes I bid you goodnight And I bid you goodbye My memory of you Like your ego Will wither and fade Along with The skin you’ve shed In the lonely bed You’ve made

LIME CRIME
Same serpent New skin She hisses A fantasy As she slithers in My vulnerability A weakness An opportunity to Sell a dream The bitter Sheathed in sweetness I swallowed the lie And it tasted delicious Like fresh mint Crushed Into a summer mojito Cool and crisp Now where do we go? How about Lake houses And concerts Front porches And desserts Then you can Take me to the beach Choke me in sand Call me a king While twisting me into A pawn whose silver You leach No longer a friend But a means to an End You held my grief In the palm Of your hand Then squeezed it Like a lime What an unholy Crime The scales have tipped Your ruse has been revealed The well is poisoned Your wine congealed You are nothing But a chapter In my story Watch as I Flame your pages In resplendent Glory And Dermot sang of A raven and a dove But in your version Of a kingdom Both don’t fly free Remember me, Oh viper The blackbird With a cigarette lighter Because You’ve been flinted Deleted And I’m newly Minted Recoil from my shine As the truth Burns your eyes I bid you goodnight And I bid you goodbye My memory of you Like your ego Will wither and fade Along with The skin you’ve shed In the lonely bed You’ve made
