Serpent

I wanna know you
Better than you know yourself
I think I'm well on my way

I think I’ve seen you
Creeping in from where you fell
I was afraid you wouldn't stay

Do you know your secrets
Have you lost those too
Do you know your spirit
Is he seeking you

I wanna know you
Even in the little ways
Places I will never find

But I think I've seen you
When I close my eyes to pray
Maybe in some other life

Am I what you longed for
Do you even know
Do I make you feel pure
Is that what I owe

If I’m indeed the
Serpent hiding in the grass
Waiting for your sweet demise

Then I should hope that
You have longed for venom's touch
Long lingering is the lull

Then I would have answered
My dear victim's call
Then I would have measured
Up to what you know

Then I would have answered
My dear victim's call
Then I would have measured
Up to what you know
