No Snake by Kings of the City Lyrics
[Verse 1: Danny Wilder]
Six red skinned Medusas
With blue snakes in their hair
Burnt my golden roses
And tied me to a chair
And they cursed me till I feinted
And they sung pain in my ear
Said for every time that I woke
That they would reappear
But I awoke this morning
Alone and in my pain
I reached out for an answer
Can anyone explain
The sirens had all vanished
Like shedding skins of scales
I got up from the old chair
And cut the rope with my teeth and nails
[Chorus]
Yeah no snake can squeeze my body
No bite can cut my skin
No song can test my young mind
Or torture me and win
No no no
[Verse 2: Koken]
Yo
Today I fail to see the bright side
But when I've seen the light rise
And your heart emits the dark
It seemed to start to reach my eye sight
Was blinded by the odds
We couldn't even read in hind-sight
Through the tears and all our fears
Cause you're so near to reaching limelight
But it's times like these
I question why you've been chosen
To walk this lonely road
That's littered with paths that are broken
We ain't spoken for time
I worry what's on your mind
So when we talk I pray for words that I can find to leave behind
That you can take away
And miraculously speak the pain away
But naturally you just happen to be so brave today
Fulfill your destiny
A vacant way
Dig a grave for the snake
For the grave mistake that it made
Tryna plague your days
You face a great enemy
Now it knows your energy's
A force to be reckoned with
And I'll take that ball and a chain to be reckoned with
And count every blessing each second is
Never promise but rather promise each second
To never give, never give up
Please
[Chorus: Danny Wilder]
Yeah no snake can squeeze my body
No bite can cut my skin
No song can test my young mind
Or torture me and win
No no no
[Verse 3: Ali Bla Bla]
They say enjoy the moment
But at this moment I'm hoping
Those fangs are broken
Give no condolence to my opponent
Is this an omen or poem
I'm never knowing
When there's been a problem
We've always come together and tried to solve it
Yeah the snake is long
About seven miles
With the devil's smile
Ready to sever ties if we let it dry
So we gotta try
Don't want to see my brother cry
So much weight on his shoulder
Can't look up at the sky
I talk to the wind and ask why
I talk to the wind and the wind said he can't lie
And that this is a harsh life
And this won't be the last time
So now my dark heart aches
My mind's not healthy
Don't ask if it's half full or half empty
Cause I don't act like the glass can't break
And as of late I've been feeling sorrow
You show pride and I know it's hard to swallow
So look me in the eyes and say I'll see you tomorrow
I really wanna see you tomorrow
[Chorus: Danny Wilder]
Yeah no snake can squeeze my body
No bite can cut my skin
No song can test my young mind
Or torture me and win
No no no
Six red skinned Medusas
With blue snakes in their hair
Burnt my golden roses
And tied me to a chair
And they cursed me till I feinted
And they sung pain in my ear
Said for every time that I woke
That they would reappear
But I awoke this morning
Alone and in my pain
I reached out for an answer
Can anyone explain
The sirens had all vanished
Like shedding skins of scales
I got up from the old chair
And cut the rope with my teeth and nails
[Chorus]
Yeah no snake can squeeze my body
No bite can cut my skin
No song can test my young mind
Or torture me and win
