They whisper poison in my ear A hiss that curls and disappears Their fangs are sharp but I don’t bleed I’m venom-proof I’m what they need (karma) I shed the weight they made me wear Their lies can’t hold I’m shedding care Shed every skin that doesn’t fit Even if they call me cold-blooded. When they try to stop my growth Unhinge my jaw GO FOR THE THROAT! They built a cage A brittle net Told me to stay To not forget But I’ve got scales A diamond coat I’ll slither free I’ll slit their hope They spit their doubts I taste the sting But snakes don’t bow They coil and spring Shed every skin that doesn’t fit Even if they call me cold-blooded. When they try to stop my growth Unhinge my jaw GO FOR THE THROAT!
