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 Councilor, take what's left   Great Councilor, take what's left of me
