Serpiente

A light
In the crowd
Amidst screams and shouts
I can spot a heartbeat
Like stagnant water to red wine
You can't pick
The grapes from the thorns

Let them turn away
Whoever disapproves of you
I won't take on
Your faults and your weaknesses
We'll have time for eternity
And if we need to resurrect
Return to the same place

More than food
More than a dress
With no means or resources
I don't envy you
From fame to infamy
There's just a short distance
With your disdain
No trade and I don't want to negotiate

Take off the muzzle to chew
You're a snake
Can't face me directly
And you stab me in the back

Take off the muzzle to chew
I'm coming in hot
Everyone knows it
And we see you coming from afar

I'm going to weave
A net with golden thread
To protect you all
Each and every one
I'm too old to learn
The name of a new criminal
Too young for formality

Look the other way
Chase the deer
What's the meaning
Of this whole setup
We don't have time to chat
Or to listen
With curiosity

More than food
More than a dress
With no means or resources
I don't envy you
From fame to infamy
There's just a short distance
With your disdain
No trade and I don't want to negotiate

Take off the muzzle to chew
You're a snake
Can't face me directly
And you stab me in the back

Take off the muzzle to chew
I'm coming in hot
Everyone knows it
And we see you coming from afar

More than food
More than a dress
With no means or resources
I don't envy you
From fame to infamy
There's just a short distance
With your disdain
No trade and I don't want to negotiate
Take off the muzzle to chew
You're a snake
Can't face me directly
And you stab me in the back

Take off the muzzle to chew
I'm coming in hot
Everyone knows it
And we see you coming from afar
