“Serpent With Your Name”

Verse 1

This one’s for the devil

With your lipstick on.

I never thought I’d taste that venom

And still wake up at dawn.

You smiled like salvation,

But your kiss was gasoline.

Set fire to a faithful man

And called it destiny.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

The clock didn’t just run out —

It dug us in the ground.

Some endings don’t make noise…

They just don’t make a sound.

⸻

Chorus

I say it doesn’t hurt to lose you,

But that’s a lie I tell the crowd.

Yeah, I walk in like I’m bulletproof

And leave feeling hollowed out.

If I was just another name

You carved into your spine,

You might’ve been just one more sin —

But you were poison in mine.

Now you’re one less in my life…

But a scar I can’t unwind.

⸻

Verse 2

I buried you in whiskey,

Crossed your name in black.

Said you went straight down to hell —

But hell keeps sending you back.

You wore that skin like innocence,

But your heart was cold and thin.

A serpent with a human face

That let the darkness in.

⸻

Bridge (Almost whispered)

I don’t wish you heaven.

I don’t wish you pain.

I just hope someday

You feel what you gave.

⸻

Final Chorus (Steel swells, drums heavier)

I said it didn’t break me

When you shut that door.

But broken don’t mean bleeding —

It just don’t feel no more.

If I was just a body

You kept around to pass the time,

You were the lesson carved in fire

Across this heart of mine.

Yeah, I lost you —

But I found the dark inside.

And I ain’t afraid of it…

Not tonight. 🖤
