Medicine Show 03:31
lyrics

Come one, come all, best you see There's a circus for every flea A freak for everyone's cup of tea A cure-all just for you and me I'm a freak of nature, a wolf in disguise There's no way out without compromise She looks at me with those placebo eyes A cure for the pain is belief in the lies I put snake oil on the pain and it stung He put his hand on me and I swung They use me but I'm the act unsung I won't buy what you're selling or hold my tongue I'm a freak of nature, a wolf in disguise There's no way out without compromise She looks at me with those placebo eyes A cure for the pain is belief in the lies Up next is the girl with the black tattoos I put the villain in vaudevillian and the fire on the news I am a dark horse that they live to abuse If you let them cheat you out of yourself, you lose

Snake Eyes 04:33
lyrics

I painted back over the white lies Nowadays there's remorse on the rise Truth be told there's more to the disguise Truth be told, it's not a pleasant surprise Sawed in half, Explosion Girl cries I bet everything and rolled snake eyes In a nest of vipers, of the lost souls With the rule book full of bullet holes I fuck her on a bed of lies She's an accessory I demoralize I want what I can't normalize I want love without compromise She looks at me with those placebo eyes I light a cigarette and scandalize In a nest of vipers, of the lost souls With the rule book full of bullet holes I fell in love with a girl I couldn't keep I feel in love and she fell asleep The ruse eventually went down too deep It all bled through and I lost in a sweep

Ophidiophobia 03:42
lyrics

I tried calling but I guess you're not in Think you forgot to invite me again They had thrown me into the lion's den Suicide hotline my next of kin Emergency contact asks where to begin I scared away the Wolf at the door I'm not the scoundrel in the fable anymore In vain they try to defang but what for It's the silence in my house I can't ignore I dial home but there's nobody there Sometimes I forget that I'm alone everywhere It was my eyes that terrified, locked in stare I'm just a broken girl that never said beware I'd tell you the story but you don't really care I scared away the Wolf at the door I'm not the scoundrel in the fable anymore In vain they try to defang but what for It's the silence in my house I can't ignore

In The Grass 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Diamond head, girl's best friend A knife in my back in the end Janus coin got me again Two-faced, same snake skin Slit open pupils track In the grass about to attack Watch your step when you love There's a counterfeit for every dove There's a misfit for every glove Heartbreak for each foxglove Slit open pupils track In the grass about to attack She struck like lightening from a blue sky The cold-blooded pretended to stand by I awoke and opened my Evil Eye You chose the hill on which you will die

Rattler 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Common king, to me immune He is as black as a door-less room Venom Queen, my nom de plume The rattlesnake he tries to consume Mind the rattle as you draw near I'm deaf but I hiss and I know you hear With love, my death threats are most sincere It's the fanged that reigns you should fear The Black king has no venom, but they demonize Commonplace snake, cottonmouth disguise The arrogance obvious in the immunized The sidewinder strikes, a violent demise Mind the rattle as you draw near I'm deaf but I hiss and I know you hear With love, my death threats are most sincere It's the fanged that reigns you should fear

Constrictor 02:51
lyrics

There's a beast in my belly but no place to be I'm dying in the arms of what I set free My Evil Eye looks to see Go on and choke me out of me The blood stopped like a drop of a pin I am suffocating in my own skin Cut off this life and try again I come back again as a kingpin Hooked teeth make for a shit-eating grin My sense is that I have you pinned My sense is that you would like to rescind I'm blackhearted; you must've gotten wind The blood stopped like a drop of a pin I am suffocating in my own skin Cut off this life and try again I come back again as a kingpin You're a small little man and small men tend to chatter So I'm handing you your fucking head on a silver platter You don't size up me and our size does matter So I think we should hug it out and we can sing songs after

Venom 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Spit on me and my Evil Eye Where do serpents go when they die My venom is wicked; they vilify The tourniquet was made too late to apply They poisoned me with a lie I broke the mirror when it asked me why I feel it fill my blood with shame They tried to beat me tame Saying what I had coming came I'm a viper all the same Dance to the song with the charm Suck me out of my own self-harm It'll take my head to disarm It'll take a village to strong-arm I bet my soul against your farm You should sound every last alarm I feel it fill my blood with shame They tried to beat me tame Saying what I had coming came I'm a viper all the same The counterstrike came at you fast Life's a tragedy and you had me miscast I'm the villain and you see it at last I guess you shouldn't have put it past I guess you shouldn't have put it past

Bitten 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Where do I go, where do I go Cut the shit, it's starting too slow What do I even have to show I'm 27 and have yet to grow The hand-in-hand went toe-to-toe The shoot for the moon was a no-go This will all come back to bite me, I know I slept through my wake-up call I hadn't been dreaming aloud at all If anything I'm not saved by a bell I am late to the party and sorry, as well A snake may have bitten me, but I can't tell What happens when you're unhappy and excel Which parts of my dreams can I resell I fit into this life as good as I spell I sign all my emails: see you in hell I slept through my wake-up call I hadn't been dreaming aloud at all

Gadsden Flag 03:36

Shit for brains just flips a lid All he's told is god forbid I think you missed the point here kid Good ole boy knows what he did I hope you choke on your silver spoon Join or die, well I'd die just as soon I look around and you all seem the same Fuckboys immune 'cause of daddy's last name Don't tread on me, all the worst ones proclaim Why don't YOU go back from where you came I hope you choke on your silver spoon Join or die, well I'd die just as soon You stand for nothing, your flag is fake You're a goddamn bona fide fragile snowflake A jackass with the guns they're gonna take A wife-beating redneck with a weak ass handshake If anyone was brainwashed, you'd take the cake But the tides are turning, make no mistake I'll see you in hell if I don't catch a break I hope you choke on your silver spoon Join or die, well I'd die just as soon

Seeing Snakes 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Damage is the nose to my spoon The outlaw to my saloon The dance to my own tune The garbage dump to my raccoon Cocaine to a public restroom The pawnshop to the family heirloom I carry my past like a lead balloon I'm tied to dynamite in a cartoon After the red I see all black I put the button in panic and the panic in attack Cut from the same cloth? We're not on the same rack I'm cut like a drug so cut me some slack I cut loose to cut ties, an amnesiac I lie back down like I was tied to the track I carry my past like a lead balloon I'm tied to dynamite in a cartoon I see snakes when you're not there My goddam fucking life, I swear I blacked out and don't know where I was never the truth, I was the dare

Cleopatra 04:20
lyrics
buy track
The Egyptian Cobra is no king, Cleopatra reigns Tonight the royal seductress entertains The beauty and the bloodstains Cold blooded for the blue blood in her veins The blood of Medusa rained down upon that day The snake became the kingdom's animal of prey Execution is said to be better this way Or hemlock and a plant I dare not say It was a double-edged blade that day Suicide Queen nods and walks away The blood of Medusa rained down upon that day The snake became the kingdom's animal of prey

Garter 02:33
lyrics

Aren't you just the cutest little guy, and so sincere If I had a dollar for every time I saw your kind here Did you really think the Tattooed Girl was a good mark, dear Don't give me eyes; I am no prize you will come near Another fucking joke of an animal of prey They come after me and I just shoo them away Do you fuck as bad as your move to get me to bite You're compensating for something but it isn't your height Oh a Jack, the master of one shitty night I'll take the drink just out of spite Another fucking joke of an animal of prey They come after me and I just shoo them awa Don't try, there's a knife in my garter belt, boy I am the dominatrix of a decoy You can be my pet and I can make you my toy To see you squirm on the ground will bring me great joy

Serpent 02:34
lyrics
buy track
The congregation is missing a finger or two And some teeth amongst the mountain view They speak in tongues to make it true It is my great freedom to a death that is due I took up serpents and set them free I became god when the venom spared me I am untouchable but I ate from the tree I am followed by sheep who worship me Lay hands and I'll throw hands, try it and see I tell them YOU'RE IT in this life so fuck it all and go free I took up serpents and set them free I became god when the venom spared me I am immune because the venom is mine I killed god and it was about damn time Follow the leader should be a crime I am the Serpent's paradigm

Earworm 02:44

Get out of my damn head child The anthem of the loitering exiled "I have a dreams" all compiled To and fro, the palindrome smiled Be gone, be gone, be gone My life without her must go on Be gone, be gone, be gone My life without her must go on Ear waxed, I'm turning a deaf ear Play it by ear but I'm nowhere near I'm out on my ear but I can't hear Same shit, different head to clear Be gone, be gone, be gone My life without her must go on Be gone, be gone, be gone My life without her must go on I think therefore I'm fucked I rewound and every time it sucked I watched it backwards to reconstruct She was a tune I was cursed to abduct

Ouroboros 02:43

The all is one and I am all I go on forever but forestall I'm living in withdrawal The Serpent and The Fall Born again on my own I'm a girl I've never known I'm afraid of nothing but standing still I say I'll start over, and you know I will I dug a hole in my that I must fill My victory was overkill Born again on my own I'm a girl I've never known

Radiocast 02:25
lyrics

Broadcast takes a toll and puts a spin Cut it into a blank and I'll buy it again A cure-all for anyone who dare calls in Branding snake oil for the original sin Coming at you live at light speed We offer everything you don't need I sing to a cold end for a stop set to advertise Airwaves raid and glaze the placebo eyes You have what I need and what I need is the lies The salesman lays it on thick to quickly hypnotize Coming at you live at light speed We offer everything you don't need Radio is drowned out with dead air Every ear can feel the silence blare The Golden Age of beware We're in your home and you don't care We're in your home and you don't care
