PFN2RK- Snake in the Grass

There is something on my mind that I know I have to do
Pay a bill, call a friend, make the bed, swallow food
All in all it's all ok, when I choose to follow through
But who's to the say the one who found the truth
Won't wobble in his boots
The laws are misconstrued I give to you the guilt
That in the news the miserable don't always fall to sin
The images they sent to you were models that were bent
With the intention to convince you that your world is hell again
So tell a friend, spell the code, play a game of telephone
His magnetic pull to benefit will melt the self control
Even if the bones are broke on both sides
Find me at the joint where it bends,
Open eyes, hope to float, no we won't
Ever get to the decision where the point will begin
In where our choices cross paths with disappointment
I just enjoy this till the little noises
In my void get so boisterous I cant avoid them
So hold up and tell me something that I don't already know
What they say is that I suffer from a social buddha bruises comatose
I use the music and pursue the road to home
Determine our condition by your views and soon we'll loose it gun to throne
(go away)
We don't need you any more
We'll be ok, do what we love
And share the gain accordingly
Your kitchen floor is filled with poison, petals, soap and rain
But our fire pit aspires to remove ocean from rain.

(There's a snake in the grass)
Take a bath please take off your mask
Rebuild the bridge go do something great with yourself
Come on back and tell us all about
The way you reacted.
(There's a snake in the grass)
Take a bath, please take off your mask
Rebuild the bridge go do something great with yourself
Come on back and tell us all about
the way you adapted

(It's a little like that.)

Billboards for the kids shelter for the elderly
Acupuncture saves lives, ginger root the tummy ache
Hug your neighbor, catch the flu, system never was immune
The proof is in the pudding our environment is the ruins
In the tomb, on a cloud, in the womb, it's a shame
Now we know it's the moon that makes the fool misbehave
Proper posture skeleton, no pharaohs gonna take you home
Awareness is intelligence, naked with nothing to show
Save the skin, buy some clothes
Either way it's our survival
Your defense is my mistake
I'm afraid to face the primal
Third world, global rape know the truth, walk away
Be confused it's all the same know how we've changed while getting used
New life, dead end, old past, suffocate
Suffering will drive me mad, that's why I'll always pump the brakes
A body full of water, and a mindful of seeds
Some grow to be tall and some fall to the weeds

Love.

(There's a snake in the grass)
Take a bath, please take off your mask
Rebuild the bridge go do something great with yourself
Come on back and tell us all about
the way you adapted

Newspaper, microwaves, penicillin overdose,
Head cold, antibiotic, narcotic under tones
Oil rig machines, celebrity death trap,
The next cheap laugh,sold as a trend to the vulnerable,
Meth lab, diamond ring, poison in the well water,
Stained with the same fate, pray for their only daughter,
Money comes, money goes, Hollywood, runny nose,
38, point blank, dirty bullet, gutter hose,
Underpaid, overworked, mass manipulation,
Magazines, slim muscle tone, intimidation,
Trouble with a capital, Tea tax, uncomfortable
Kneecaps, still shaky from the 83 invasion
Take me to the fire where they only know to share
And heal the tired and the sick through a story bout the sun and air
Cause somehow I wound up in a perfect little space
Where it always looks better then it tastes
And I'm scared to walk away.
