Snake in the Grass

Venom in the veins, shadow on the face

Cold steel kiss, left me out of place

Thought you were the fam, now I see the fangs

Whispers in the night, plotting where you hang

Tears dried quick, fire in the gut

Carved my name in stone, never in the mud

Trust broke brittle, shattered like glass

Snake in the grass, left you in the past

Snake in the grass, you slither, I see

Lonely in the dark, but revenge sets me free

Snake in the grass, you can’t hide from me

What’s done in the night gon’ burn in the heat

Ghost town heart, echoes in the ribs

Betrayal left a scar, no one here forgives

Blade in my back, I stitched it with gold

Now I’m comin’ for the crown, vengeance is cold

Every step’s a warning, shadows got a spine

Revenge a bitter wine, but I sip it like it’s fine

Pity for the weak, none for the sly

Snake in the grass, now you running outta sky

Hissed your lies, but I learned the tune

Played it back sharper, under a blood moon

Fangs for the bite, poison for the kin

But I flipped the script, and I’m wearing your skin
