Your scarlet soaked and bold and the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sink to my bones Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more It's rising against all the walls we built for falling All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near It's the wool to hide the wolves And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm But I did not shed that skin like You said When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving and when the bricks start to fall, I'll be the one crawling down this road so dark Vices like vipers Speak in whispers My heel's the meat to sink their teeth Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!" This is what it took for me to see WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound Slithering in the shade of a sinking church Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning So this is the warning, You fall to learn And to the girls You're worth more than the cheap words You see your body as beauty, but your pulse is worth more Hear me, it's not what it seems, though the feeding tastes of honesty This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency Why do we keep what holds us? Why do I keep what holds me down? Lose the weight of defeat. It's time to stand your ground! Vices like vipers Speak in whispers My heel's the meat to sink their teeth Like the viper I kept when You said: Let go! Since all the alibis of ignorance are void This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts Take, my lust, this world's Love Great Counselor, take what's left Great Counselor, take what's left of me
