Deca - Snakes and Birds lyrics
[Deca - Snakes and Birds lyrics]
I need to walk through the pale
Light that occupies the wild
And believe it when a drop
Of blood says "listen"
Paradise is never far away
And simpler than you think it (Think it)
(Think it)
We have the feeling we are getting nowhere
The warning has passed unnoticed (Alright)
Live from the snake pit
Equipped with free will to twist fate with
Dwarfed by the towers we build
Let's switch places
Ever since I quit the day
Shift my vision’s Lasik
They give a man a shovel and
Pick to dig his grave with
The cruel subterfuge used to fuel hatred
By the state's sock puppets and
Pundit's with two faces
Got us at each other’s throats
Falling for the same tricks
Facing earth’s birth pangs of
Tectonic plate shifts
She gyrates I watch it shake like jello mold
Walk across oceans, hopscotch archipelagos
Well disposed to tell tales seldom told
About worlds within worlds that can’t
Be seen through your telescopes
If nothing’s sacred you can mold
It how you see fit
Strip mine the globe, recode the double helix
Split atoms in half, reduce men to lab rats
And open up a Pandora’s box of other secrets
Wow playing roles
Plugging holes in a sinking ship emergency
Ill-equipped to wield the power
At our fingertips wow
Confronted by a diamondback in the wilderness
A snake that offered me the global village
On a silver dish i declined
Said I won’t be pushed filed stamped indexed
Briefed debriefed or numbered bottom line
Divided by design find peace of mind
In a broken promise land where
The blind lead the blind
The show’s coming to a close
Told what the future holds
Souls shedding human clothes pulled
From the crucible a head full of dreams
A heart wrapped in razor wire
Throwing snakes in a stomach
Acid lake of fire when I was young my hand
Slipped off the highest rung
I prepped the chemicals for
Lift-off and life begun
A fist-sized knot fresh dipped extra dapper
Slide her glass slipper on and
Live happy ever after
Til' the second chapter
About the light trapped inside of flesh and
Wolves running wild in the shepherd’s pasture
Running from the violent flames
And the hunger pangs cleansed in the fire
Baptized by the summer rain
Head hung in shame faces in our palms purge
What no longer serves
Hatchlings turned to song birds
And try to paint a picture
Of a world beyond words
On terra firma only love conquers monsters
Wow playing roles
Plugging holes in a sinking ship emergency
Ill-equipped to wield the power
At our fingertips wow
Confronted by a diamondback in the wilderness
A snake that offered me the global village
On a silver dish i declined
Said I won’t be pushed filed stamped indexed
Briefed debriefed or numbered bottom line
Divided by design find peace of mind
In a broken promise land where
The blind lead the blind
Tell us your date of birth
Tell us your place of birth
Tell us your marital status
Tell us your number of dependents
Tell us your social security number
Tell us your checking account number
Tell us your savings account number
(Tell us your life insurance policy)
Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves
Light that occupies the wild
And believe it when a drop
Of blood says "listen"
Paradise is never far away
And simpler than you think it (Think it)
(Think it)
We have the feeling we are getting nowhere
The warning has passed unnoticed (Alright)
Live from the snake pit
Equipped with free will to twist fate with
Dwarfed by the towers we build
