The Viper Succeeds
[Verse 1] One day I will get out of here Strings plucked one sec, don’t let them see the tear Just one… just one more breath I can’t remember when this shit was fun Feels like I’m stuck in a rut again Wrapped up tight like queen of the slaughter pen [Pre-Chorus] I scroll, I pace I laugh in the wrong place Tell every mirror “I swear I’m fine” But my hands shake over cold plates Dreams going stale on the sidelines [Chorus] If you really wanna know you have got to get out or you’ll never even see what this hurt is about Tear the tape from your mouth step out of that doubt If you really wanna know you have got to get out [Verse 2] I hate this I want carbs just peanut butter Spoon in the jar like I’m hiding undercover Talking to the ceiling like it’s some kind of lover Every plan I make I manage to smother [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a key tucked under the tongue A little “what if” tapping like a drum A list on the fridge that I never start A door in the dark shaped like my heart [Chorus] If you really wanna know you have got to get out or you’ll never even see what this cage is about Tear the tape from your mouth step into that shout If you really wanna know you have got to get out [Bridge] What if I walk before I feel ready What if my voice comes out too heavy What if I crack right there in the sun What if that’s the moment I finally run (oh) [Chorus] If you really wanna know you have got to get out or you’ll live in every fear that you’re singing about Shake the dust from your name turn it inside out If you really wanna know you have got to get out If I really wanna know I have got to get out
