Snakeshedskin (4:05)
You’re an angel in a little girl
In an angel’s clothing
Foil wings rip…
You’re an angel inside a little girl
Wearing an angel’s outfit
Foil wings rip your sides
You can’t carry me now
You wear holy in your devil’s world
When cobalt blue skies fall down by your sides
It’s the western curse
It’s a soul trap
But it’s heaven in disguise…
Once you take yours off
Shed your pretense
Like snakeshedskin
Shed legacy
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your raised one
Like snakeshedskin
Shed the other one
Like snakeshedskin
Waters rise and spirits fall
And spirits rise through water
Sunspot position you’ll never get
Sans hell’s badge alma-mater, baby
Starry eyes in a starry dress
I must confess: you look beautiful tonight
You’re spitting tongues, throwing fingers
No no no
No no, no no no.
Shed inheritence
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your mortal coil
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your black hole sun
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your judgement gun
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your pretense
Like snakeshedskin
Shed legacy
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your raised one
Like snakeshedskin
Shed your judgement gun
Like snakeshedskin
Shed Whitehorse.
Shed Star.
Shed Andean.
Shed your Braeside.
Shed me, shed me
Like snakeshedskin
