Reptile

Ssso I'm trying to escape

but it's not shaping up to be a good get away

Assassinated at the starting gate 

I am damned, for they kill what they don't understand

I just wanna get off this ride and find a cold dark place to hide

This life is spinning so fast

there is no need for seats

We are just bodies stuck to the sides

Crawling around to a new life

I am fighting to just be alive

no more water to breath

I'm just trying to get to the surface

gills to lungs

scales to skin 

or is it reverse? reverting? A gift or my curse?

Ever adapting to a new environment

a changeling

is this an end or where it all begins

Just like you? I just wanna survive

I see everything in infant infrared eyes

Ssso if I die today

please, God don't let me waste this life away

damn it, wait...

There was a point to all of this

I had more to say

lips hiss I can't keep up with thisss... 

The thought slithers away like a snake in a garden

I always seem to get in my own damn way

Curse you, it's not me

Satan not today

Eve, you can have your damn apple

as I slither away....
