Snakes – FRIEDRICH Lyrics
I'm gonna cut the grass and let the snakes be seen
No more hiding underneath what's green
I believed every smile, every word they said
Now I know some hearts are cold instead
I'm trying every day to be a better man
Holding on to hope the best I can
It's hard to stay on, it's hard to stay true
When the world's pretending just to make it through
I'm done wasting peace on people who won't change
Truth and lies will never share the same place
I'd rather walk alone than fake a smile
'Cause real ones always stand the test of time
Roll call (meet silver tongue)
Snake (meet two-face)
Meet backstab Jack
Snake (meet sweet poison)
Snake
Every smile was fake
Every word was bait
Time to expose the snakes (snakes)
Now everybody knows your name
Now everybody knows your name
I've lost people I once called my friends
Some only stayed until they got their ends
Every scar became another guide
Teaching me who should stay by my side
I don't need revenge to make things right
Time reveals what's hidden from the light
Every lie leaves footprints in the sand
Sooner or later, they all understand
I'm done chasing ghosts that wear a friendly face
The truth always finds its place
I'd rather lose the crowd than lose my soul
Now I finally know
Roll call (meet silver tongue)
Snake (meet two-face)
Meet backstab Jack
Snake (meet sweet poison)
Snake
Every smile was fake
Every word was bait
Time to expose the snakes (snakes)
Now everybody knows your name
Now everybody knows your name
I don't fear the venom anymore
I've seen this story all before
Every whisper lost its power now
I won't let it bring me down
You can wear another face
But you can't outrun your mistakes
I found my truth, I found my way
And I'm not looking back today
The higher you climb on a house of lies
The harder you fall when the truth arrives
No more silence, no more games
Tonight I know your
Roll call (meet silver tongue)
Snake (meet two-face)
Meet backstab Jack
Snake (meet sweet poison)
Snake
Every smile was fake
Every word was bait
Time to expose the snakes (snakes)
Now everybody knows your name
Now everybody knows your name
I won't become the thing I learned to hate
Even when the weight was hard to take
My peace is worth more than empty praise
So I'll keep walking my own way
Roll call (meet silver tongue)
Snake (meet two-face)
Meet backstab Jack
Snake (meet sweet poison)
Every word was poison, every touch betrayed
Time to expose the snakes (snakes)
Now everybody knows your name
Now everybody knows your name
