A Snake Bite With No Venom

I can shed my skin like a snake
I wear your bones like trophies
Its days like these that seem too frequent
Its nights like these that rip away
All your tender woes and bleeding hearts

All your melodramatic romanticism
All your stupid fucking stars

Run from me like a pregnant finch
Martyrdom is over rated
Cliché is too cliché
A snake bite with no venom
And no one cares who broke up with you

The music you play is so random
Its so experimental
You wear trends like ugly armor
Its so hysterical
The blood you bleed is so red
Its so typical

I will wallow in my sheep skin
Parading my synthetic smile
To you all
Like a fucking suit
I will appease you

Smug
Yet abrasive

I will wait to strike
When the time is right

your words always spring emotion that I thought no longer existed in me. I agree w/Sketso...different than your norm, but nonetheless spectacular.

I'd almost hate to know what spurned this one on. It's a rather odd change of pace for you, compared to your normal works, but the raw lash out of emotion is good, working well. "I will wallow in my sheep skin Parading my synthetic smile To you all" speaks volumes to me, as I can easily relate. Bravo, bro. Lash out at the world you walk in, but walk on... walk on.

Definately a lot of energy here. Well done. I think lines 4-7 are my favourite.
