The snake sheds its skin
To begin life again
Slither, crawl into your tomb
Entering the open wound

   But I'd give it all away
   For one more memory
   To slip this poisonous kiss
   Between your lips

     I can't control this any more
Peeling off layers from before
     I can't control this any more
Shedding the skin I once wore
     I can't control this any more

Coiled on the ground
Sheltered from the sun
Your desire has me done
Buried deep, never found

   But I'd give it all away
   For one more memory
   To slip this poisonous kiss
   Between your lips

     I can't control this any more
Peeling off layers from before
     I can't control this any more
Shedding the skin I once wore
     I can't control this any more

               I am constricted
               I am conflicted
               I am restricted
               I am inflicted

   But I'd give it all away
   For one more memory
   And slip this poisonous kiss
   Between your lips

I can't control this
     (Peeling off the layers)
I can't control this
     (Shedding my skin)
I can't control this

Anymore.
