"Snakebite" lyrics
Iris Official Lyrics
Tell me the name, what is the game?
Where is the pain? Who is to blame?
Suck the venom out
Show me the stain, show me the remains
Show me the hollow accolades
Turn it all around
Just another purpose fighting through the circus
Thought they had you cornered, they're lucky they're not slaughtered
Watching, waiting, they're intoxicating
Pointing darts in their reflection
What's not to like about the tail they were born with?
Chasing their own desperation in the name of God
Deep within the snake, within the breaks
Within the rotten core
There remains a child, remains an animal who's hungry for more
And within their mind, within their kind
Within their ouroboros
There's a final chorus
And they die within the Marlboros
Smoking up the wounds they made themselves
They made to kill them inside
And within their lungs, the songs were sung of merry hell in the hive
And the time has come for you to run
But you're just apples to die
Let 'em choke on your core
Let 'em die by their own snakebite
Choke it all up
Suck it all out
Snakebite
Tell me the reason, tell me the treason
Tell me the time, the day, the season
They've attacked before
Show me the rhyme, show me the crime
Show me the one and only time they left you ignored
Just another portion, blamed you for contortion
Thought they were devoured but you were overpowered
Washed away, now I see they made your pain more pricey
Costing lives through chronic tension
They never stopped to care, the tragedy they could not bare
They retreated to detention in the name of God
Deep within the snake, within the breaks
Within the rotten core
There remains a child, remains an animal who's hungry for more
And within their mind, within their kind
Within their ouroboros
There's a final chorus
And they die within the Marlboros
Smoking up the wounds they made themselves
They made to kill them inside
And within their lungs, the songs were sung of merry hell in the hive
And the time has come for you to run
But you're just apples to die
Let 'em choke on your core
Let 'em die by their own snakebite
From the cracks within the vines
They could not care for you
They always hated you
For if they cared, you'd be the one to know
They daren't approach you
Because they loathed you
Crushing you inside
Crushing you inside
Villainy, tyranny, gone in serenity
Poisoning, sickening, taking over everything
Bleed the venom out!
Deep within the snake, within the breaks
Within the rotten core
There remains a child, remains an animal who's hungry for more
And within their mind, within their kind
Within their ouroboros
There's a final chorus
And they die within the Marlboros
Smoking up the wounds they made themselves
They made to kill them inside
And within their lungs, the songs were sung of merry hell in the hive
And the time has come for you to run
But you're just apples to die
Let 'em choke on your core
Let 'em die by their own snakebite
Choke it all up
Suck it all out
Let 'em die by their own snakebite
Where is the pain? Who is to blame?
Suck the venom out
Show me the stain, show me the remains
Show me the hollow accolades
Turn it all around
Just another purpose fighting through the circus
Thought they had you cornered, they're lucky they're not slaughtered
Watching, waiting, they're intoxicating
Pointing darts in their reflection
What's not to like about the tail they were born with?
Chasing their own desperation in the name of God
Deep within the snake, within the breaks
Within the rotten core
There remains a child, remains an animal who's hungry for more
And within their mind, within their kind
Within their ouroboros
There's a final chorus
And they die within the Marlboros
Smoking up the wounds they made themselves
They made to kill them inside
And within their lungs, the songs were sung of merry hell in the hive
And the time has come for you to run
But you're just apples to die
Let 'em choke on your core
Let 'em die by their own snakebite
Choke it all up
