lyrics

THE OUROBORUS

The scaly snake swallowed up its own tail,
devoured itself with fangs pearly and pale.
But with each peristalsis into the great jaws unhinged,
it took a baby step forward from the last place it had binged.


So, uh, if you can pare down
to just one thing then you'll succeed,
where all I did was bleed into the possibilities.
I'll get down on my knees...

And beg for the chance to milk venom regret.
An ounce of prevention ain't worth nothing yet,
until you pick your right poison - the base underneath your top note.
When you put your tail inside your mouth you need the right antidote.


So, uh, if you can pare down
to just one thing then you'll succeed,
where all I did was bleed into the possibilities.
I'll get down on my knees...

Without visible proof that I have any use
the alchemical dream is just herpes cream.
For every itch there's a scratch,
for every moth there's a match.
We only get one dream to reuse while the Ouroborus chews.
