[SZ] Serpent Emotion

I wake up mad at the ceiling
Teeth marks deep in my tongue
Every word I never shouted
Piling up
Weighing a ton

You say
“Talk to me
I’m listening”
My throat turns into sand
I just smile
Keep on shrinking
Shaking glass in my hands

These destructive emotions
Breaking all my own bones
I’m the storm and the ocean
I drag myself from my home
It’s love
Then it’s erosion
I keep cutting my rope
These destructive emotions
Turn every heartbeat to smoke

I laugh
Too loud at the party
So I don’t hear my head
Pour more fire in my body
Watch it burn up the bed

You touch my arm
I’m electric
Flinch like I’m gonna drown
How can comfort feel so dangerous
I just push you back down


These destructive emotions
Breaking all my own bones
I’m the storm and the ocean
I drag myself from my home
It’s love
Then it’s erosion
I keep cutting my rope
These destructive emotions
Turn every heartbeat to smoke


These destructive emotions
Breaking all my own bones
I’m the storm and the ocean
I drag myself from my home
It’s love
Then it’s erosion
I keep cutting my rope
These destructive emotions
Turn every heartbeat to smoke

I call it “habit
” I call it “fate” oh
Name it anything but “hate”
Every mirror
Same old fight
Same sharp tongue
Same tired eyes

If I learned to hold my rage
Like a match
Not a grenade
Could I stay when I’m afraid?
Could I stay
Could I stay? hey

These destructive emotions
Breaking all my own bones
I’m the storm and the ocean
I drag myself from my home
It’s love
Then it’s erosion
I keep cutting my rope
These destructive emotions
But I’m still learning to hope

These destructive emotions
Breaking all my own bones
I’m the storm and the ocean
I drag myself from my home
It’s love
Then it’s erosion
I keep cutting my rope
These destructive emotions
But I’m still learning to hope
