Year of the Snake

Choking on these feelings
This awakening has been at arms length for too long,
it's hard to accept when all I had was their words
I've seen the devil and I've kissed the mouth of sin
Bloodshot eyes and senses heightened I am seeking to get in
These chains no longer bound me
I'm shedding my skin once again

In the year of the snake I was born into a world of pain and heartache
Isolation was the key to unlocking my soul now the story will be told
