lyrics

Boa wrap me up in knots, close my eyes three dreams
Sigh at the night and gasp for air, await the moment that I’m free
Pessimism’s pesticide has yet to be found, boa hangs from a tree and casts a noose
I tend to run the other way.

Leads me up and leads me down, bites away without a sound
Slowly swallowing me whole, if I’m being honest.

Doubting my skills is way easier than not
Obsession drags the best and worst out from this heart
I long to talk, to speak, to say what’s on my mind
Control, resolve, it’s all the same to me tonight.

Leads me up and leads me down, bites away without a sound
Slowly swallowing me whole, if I’m being honest.

My shoulder hosts a humming bird, the song it sings is mine
The colours awe and tries to hide the fact that snakes eat little birds too.

Leads us up and leads us down, bites away without a sound
Slowly swallowing me whole, if I’m being honest
Boa.
