Snakes Lyrics

We'll go together into the dark woods
Sinking with wise old tree roots
How I want to unlearnI don't want old branches no more
Every tooth is broken
And all of the flesh is burntI've wounded my side
And I've wound in my hideDon't ask what is the price of my hand
Would you be queen of my land?
When everyone else is goneFire, making my way much harder
All of this time I'm after
Images of my soulAnd I've wounded my side
And I've wounded my hide
And I've got snakes in my eyes
And I've got snakes in my mind, mindPeace of my mind is cast in iron
Come on now baby, ride on
Down to the root of life, lifeNo, no, don't give me more of your glow
Come on now baby, ride on
Down the joys of my night, nightAnd I've wounded my side
And I've wounded my hide

And I've got snakes in my eyes
And I've got snakes in my mind, mindNo, no, ..., die
I'm not too far down
I'm not too far gone
