The Bird and the Snake (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
The morning is coming with a hunger to feed
I’ll do what I’ve got to get the taste that I need
Minute by minute and hour by hour
I’ll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour

[Verse 2]
Give me a feather and I’ll trade you my friend
It’s just a single feather dear, it won’t be the end
Watch and you’ll learn young one, I’m not what you think
I’ll give you all you’d ever want, to eat and to drink

[Chorus]
It’s too far to run
It’s too hard to fly
There’s got to be a better way
It’s too far to run
It’s too hard to fly
A feather’s small to give away

[Verse 3]
One was the deal before but now I want three
So if you want to get your fix you’ll have to agree
Don’t you fret now, don’t you fear, you’ve still got much to give
I’ll keep my word if you keep yours; you still need me to live

[Chorus]
I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
I’m tired living day by day
I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
How much will I have to pay?
How much will I have to pay?
I’m too scared to run
I’m too nerved to fly
I once was friend but now the prey
I’m too scared to run
I’m too nerved to fly
Will he save or will he slay?

[Bridge]
It’s the last time that you’ll get me
It’s the last time that you’ll get me, me
It’s your last one so now I’m free
It’s your last one so now I’m free, free
All you’ve brought me is pain and grief
All you’ve brought me is pain and grief, grief
You deceptive and lying thief
You deceptive and lying thief, thief
No

[Outro]
Thank You my friend, now I’ll say my goodbye
And as these fangs sink in, you’ll see, I’ll watch as you die
