No matter how much I repent
I'll still be the brood of the serpent.
On the surface I'm a sheep
But I have dragons underneath
They keep fighting
And I'm spiraling
Bile in my lungs
Burning, burning
Told him I wanted to kill myself and he started laughing
She said if I married a girl, she wouldn't come to my wedding
Oh, if they only knew how much I could hurt them
But I'm too much of a coward to stop being a burden
I know I never asked for your help
But where were you?
You don't love me, you love the parts of me that remind you of you.
You say that he who is not against you is for you
For you, not with you
You can have your city
I don't need your pity
I won't be your slave, but when I'm with the enemy, I still don't feel free
I played the part of white as linen, the good daughter
Clothed by the lamb, but I have the heart of a viper
This role is getting old, I want them to suffer
Deep within, black like the tents of Kedar
If I was crucified with you, why do I still feel condemned?
You said it yourself, I'll never inherit your kingdom
So I'm leaving
I'm leaving
I love her, I love her
So if you put her
In the lake of fire
I'm drowning with her
Venom on my tongue
I'm spitting, I'm spitting
Venom on my tongue
I'm spitting, I'm spitting
On the surface I'm a sheep
But I have dragons underneath
They keep fighting
And I'm spiraling
Bile in my lungs
Burning, burning

I really enjoyed this. It was quite complex in its imagery and the complexity of human emotion that you portrayed.
Nicely done it. Liked your work.
