Said the Snake

The dead have names like biblical verses
Matthew 19
Mark 21
John 33
Sent to war to fight for…
I don’t think anyone knows anymore
The last breath before death
Before the invisible amputees of PTSD
And then slithering from its den
Came the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
His kiss gave a little pain
As the venom pumps through your veins
This was your mistake
You knew I was a fucking snake
This was your mistake
You knew I was a fucking snake
Put another rifle in their hand
Send them like cattle to a foreign land
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Trust me, he said from his den
Trust me, with a vicious grin
Trust me, simpletons
I alone can save your soul
Just give me complete control
His kiss gave a little pain
As the venom pumps through your veins
This was your mistake
You knew I was a fucking snake
This was your mistake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Trust me, he said from his den
Trust me, with a vicious grin
Trust me, simpletons
I alone can save your soul
Just give me complete control
Let me kiss it I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it I can fix it
You knew I was a fucking snake
