Snakes in the garden

Album: No ego destroy

[Intro]
See you in the crawlspace
Lurking by the door
Smiling at my harvest
While you poison every root and more

[Verse 1]
You show up when it’s raining
Actin’ like you came to help it grow
But every word you’re sayin’
Got that hidden venom in the glow
You slide into the middle
Of the circle like you part of it
Shake hands, share bread
Then you rot out the heart of it

[Chorus]
Snakes in the garden
Biting at the seed, tryna starve it
Hissin’ in the dark where the stars went
Cold eyes watching every harvest
Snakes in the garden
Coil ‘round hope just to scar it
I see the shed skin, yeah, I clocked it
Snakes in the garden, snakes in the garden (hey!)

[Verse 2]
You don’t swing the axe
You just whisper till the roots give in
You don’t light the match
You just clap when you see it in the wind
Feed you trust, you chew it
Spit it back in bitter little bits
Call it love, call it truth
But it feel like rust on the lips

[Chorus]
Snakes in the garden
Biting at the seed, tryna starve it
Hissin’ in the dark where the stars went
Cold eyes watching every harvest
Snakes in the garden
Coil ‘round hope just to scar it
I see the shed skin, yeah, I clocked it
Snakes in the garden, snakes in the garden

[Bridge]
I used to water every hand that reached
Now I read the tongue before it speaks
You can circle, circle, circle my feet
But this soil too strong for your teeth (oh)
This field still mine when you leave

[Chorus]
Snakes in the garden
Biting at the seed, tryna starve it
Hissin’ in the dark where the stars went
Cold eyes watching every harvest
Snakes in the garden
Coil ‘round hope just to scar it
You can shed skins, change your costume
But I see you in the blossoms that you ruined
Snakes in the garden, snakes in the garden
