[Whispered Intro] Come closer Let me show you something [Verse 1] Taste the venom on my words Sweet like honey, watch it burn You're the mirror I've been breaking I'm the knife you keep on taking Fangs retracted when you're looking Poison dripping while you're hooked in Split my tongue to speak your language Now I'm fluent in the damage [Pre-Chorus] Shedding skin, shedding skin Which version lets you in? Shedding skin, shedding skin Can't tell where I begin [Chorus] I'm the serpent, I'm the prey Dancing in the mouth of fate Bite down hard, make you stay Toxic taste you crave, crave, crave Wrapped around your vertebrae Every lie a twist of faith I'm the serpent, I'm the prey (Which one of us escapes?) [Verse 2] Hypnotic eyes, dilated pupils Watch me coil around what's useful You think you're holding the leash tight But I've been squeezing all this time Camouflage in conversation Mimicking your expectations When the strike comes you won't see it You'll just feel the heat decreasing [Pre-Chorus] Shedding skin, shedding skin Which version lets you in? Shedding skin, shedding skin Can't tell where I begin [Chorus] I'm the serpent, I'm the prey Dancing in the mouth of fate Bite down hard, make you stay Toxic taste you crave, crave, crave Wrapped around your vertebrae Every lie a twist of faith I'm the serpent, I'm the prey (Which one of us escapes?) [Bridge - Half-spoken, layered vocals] They say the snake eats its own tail Ouroboros, endless cycle Am I hunting? Am I hunted? Does it matter when we're tangled? (Constrict) (Restrict) (Conflict) Can't distinguish fang from victim [Final Chorus - Aggressive] I'm the serpent! I'm the prey! Dancing in the mouth of fate! Bite down hard, make you stay! Toxic taste you crave, crave, crave! Wrapped around your vertebrae! Every lie a twist of faith! I'm the serpent! I'm the prey! [Outro - Whispered, echoing] (Which one of us...) (Which one of us...) (Escapes?)
