Smirking Serpents

I had my last supper

With smirking serpents

Broke the bread

And passed the wine

I should've known

'cause they were slurping it

It was like getting kissed

For the first time

With their eyes closed

Just to feel them open it

They watched me enjoy it all

And my energy

They were absorbing it

Pretending to care

Asking questions in trite

I'm tired of lying

Saying that I'm feeling alright

I'm done being polite

But what is there to do

I won't break bread with serpents anymore

I've tasted the truth, it cannot be ignored

If this road is a lonely one, let it be

I'd rather walk alone than to lose me

I'm stranded in a foreign land

No strength to my name

Everyone's playing a game

Trying to rise through the flame

They don't care who they stop

Just to reach the top

All I see is friendly fire

And that's my stumbling block

I invest in a tumbling stock

People deceive just to achieve

Whatever they desire

Make rank, then retire

And I'm getting tired

How did I keep hope

For humanity for this long

I've lived my whole life

Knowing I don't belong

And yet

Here I stand

Still getting dragged along

I won't break bread with serpents anymore

I've tasted the truth, it cannot be ignored

If this road is a lonely one, let it be

I'd rather walk alone than to lose me

I was judged

Talked about

Watching everyone

Do everything for clout

I suppose I just took

A different route

I know what I must do

This road may be lonely

But the path is true

So I'm done eating meals with snakes
