Ride the Snake

Time to ride the snake
eyes gone dead and blank
i don't wanna talk to a stranger
i once knew single-minded hunt
to fill the bottomless
well i can't afford the labor
of the feelings that you ask
you tax
talk to me i can't hear you
did you say the pain has gone away
just one question
will i see you at the show tomorrow
or the snake
they could never tell we are losing weight
they will all still love us
if they can not feel our hell i'm not losing face
and they're not losing faith
we won't have to feel unless
we quit there's nothing more to hide
don't you know that he does everything
he buys the food and cleans
he knows what
i need to go on
this is your last chance
i can feel i'm fading and i want to disappear
there's nothing left to hide
will i see you at the show tomorrow
tell me then what's wrong
