the way you are
the snake you are
is the mask you wear
to hide from me just what you are
they call me cynical
but it's the rational inside of me
that knows exactly what you're aiming for

the way you are
the snake you are
the poison dripping from veins
of what you are
the way you are
the snake you are
is the life you squeeze from me
until there's nothing at all

the way you are
the snake you are
is the mask you wear
to hide from me just what you are
the way you are
the snake you are
the way you are
the snake you are
the way you are
the snake you are
