Vices Like Vipers Songtext

von Oh Sleeper

Your scarlet soaked and bold
And the sheep's eyes are locked to mine, sink to my bones.
Though your lips still drip, intentions, they keep me wanting more...

It's rising against
All the walls
We built for falling

All the walls
We built just
Stand in vain to draw you near.
It's the wool
To hide the wolves.

And under these toes
From where we last spoke,
Your words laid so firm.
But I did not shed that skin
Like You said
When the mason neglects the mortar
Looks become deceiving
And when the bricks start to fall,
I'll be the one crawling
Down this road so dark

Vices like vipers
They speak in whispers
My heel's the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper I kept when You said, "Let go!"
This is what it took for me
For me to see.

WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound.
WHEN I AM GOD this church is unsound.

Slithering in the shade of a sinking church
Surprise is no excuse
For the traps that
You left in the wake of warning
So this is the warning
You fall to learn

And to the girls
You're worth more
Than the cheap words
You see your body as beauty,
Your pulse is worth more.

Hear me, it's not what it seems, the feeding tastes of honesty
This is the warning,
You're just a hit to coax my urgency
MY URGENCIES
This is the warning,
You're just a hit to coax my urgency
To my urgency.

Why do we keep what holds us?
Why do I keep what holds me down?
Lose the weight of defeat.
It's time to stand your ground!

Vices like vipers
They speak in whispers.
My heel's the meat to sink their teeth,
Like the viper
I kept when You said
"Let go!"
Since all the alibis of ignorance are void...
This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts.
Take, my lust, this world's Love.
Great Councilor, take what's left.
Great Councilor, take what's left of me
