Deer in the Belly of the Snake

[Verse 1]
Staring down the barrel of the gun
Double barrel, slug to the face
Face the fact there’s nobody left
Left you there with nothing to say
Something in you is changed for the best
There is a part of you that is changed to this day
And no matter how hard you try get it back
It'll never be the same
Su–suck it up
Sucker punch to the teeth
Teach you how to speak in his name
Show you how to act in his presence
Lessons burned in to your brain
Summon up the thought of being brave
Strangulate the fear or be a deer in the belly of the snake, s–s–s–
Deer in the belly of the beast
There’s still so much for you to see
It–it’s a shame that you would be
J–just a body in the street but
You could leave it here with me, huh
You could leave it here with me, huh

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you have molded a coward
You live your life too afraid
I know you’ve been storing some malice
Maybe it’s more than your fair share
It’s all about achieving balance
Just because you’ve been awake
Doesn’t mean that you’re alive
It’s not the blood that’s in your veins
It’s the money that you make

[Verse 3]
But the breeze don’t bother
Innocence don’t fade
Growing up on the internet as fodder really fosters some rage
You still got love from your mom
In this chain link cage

[Verse 4]
As she says, “One day, you’ll have more than your father”
Maybe it’s money and fame
Maybe it’s money and power
It’s definitely more than your fair share
But we’re all here for you now
Is this why we were made?
To never be satisfied or a sleeping fox with its prey
There’s no money to be made
