surrounded by snakes

Surrounded by snakes

with friendly grins upon their faces.

They're all the same

when you look at the place

of their heart.

Disgraced from the start

my whole life has been

a lie.

Cursed by time

there's no way I can deny,

'Cause I killed the father

now mother's out to get me.

The nature of my scars

I have figured out quickly

are sins in themselves.

Dispensed in a shell 

of inferiority, my hell

is the inadequacy 

of this life of good jobs,

congratulations and 

you gave it your all,

for every dropped ball,

missed chance

and failed romance.

Now here I am trapped,

like an angry godzilla

with fire in his soul

for the spirit is low.

Drowned by the maniacal

depression of self-hatred

only knowing love

and the wealth of patience.

Have you eaten a dinner

at the table of Satan?

Mom, Dad? Can you see

the horror in the heart

of the son you've been raisin'?
