[Verse 1]
Barely bit me
Sin has always found a way to stay the poison trials anyway
Barely bit me
Sin has always found a way to make the saints obey
It's hardly hurting
It's only odd because in some way I've seen this place
It's hardly hurting
It's only odd because in some way I've seen this play out so many ways

[Chorus]
I wanted mercy
I wanted proof, like you, that all my chains could break away
It's all frightening, it's better off this way
The path appropriate is no longer in the way

[Verse 2]
Okay it's hit me
The Serpent's Garden overgrown in me
A prophecy, a wanton mercy, a wanted thief
Mother I noticed
One of the men on the cross was allowed to come down, allowed to come down
Mother I noticed
One of the men on the cross was allowed to come down, allowed to come down
