Inside the snake’s mouth (Lyrics for a dark indie song)
Inside the
snake’s mouth
While I
fade slowly
Comes a
last doubt
Should dead
be this sweet
No doubt
It’s sweet
No doubt
It’s a
candy treat
Inside the
wolf’s pack
While I
rest peacefully
Downs the
night in black
Should danger
be this warm
No doubt
It’s warm
No doubt
It’s a soft
flown
Inside the
bear’s cage
While I
stretch my bones
Smells a
honey flange
Should Hunger
be so bright
No doubt
It’s bright
No doubt
It’s a mind
light
Inside the limbs
and water creatures
While my
face turns purple
the
revolving and speaking waters
embraces cold
in a hot bubble
No doubt
it’s coming to save me
No doubt
it’s coming to pace me.
