Snake in Waiting Lyrics

Blank eyes stare back down the barrel of a pipe dream
Watching all the rest who think they know best
But the worst they've not seen
Raised mouth sewn shut with a needle pulling tight at the seams
Under mute arrest, the curse could be blessed
But the worse it then would be.

Hard lines compete to pull apart
Compete to want for nothing
I don't wanna hear no more, it means nothing to me
Swaying between the hating, charmed like a snake in waiting

Hate filling the arteries
You feel the bite sinking in
The venom is already under the skin

Blank eyes move back through the centre point of view
Hard left, Hard right
As the barrel of the pipe plays the malady in you

Hard lines compete to pull apart
Compete to want for nothing
I don't wanna hear no more, it means nothing to me
Swaying between the hating, charmed like a snake in waiting

Hate filling the arteries
You feel the bite sinking in
The venom is already under the skin
Hate filling the arteries

I hear a voice scream "what are you waiting for? - Why don't you react?"
Everybody wants to hear you speak their mind

Hard lines compete to pull apart
Compete to want for nothing
Don't wanna hear no more, it means nothing to me
Swaying between the hating, charmed like a snake in waiting

Hate filling the arteries
You feel the bite sinking in
The venom is already under the skin
Hate filling the arteries
Hate filing the arteries
It's already under the skin
