This Serpent from Winter '16 by Thans

Fell prey to the weary eyes
wave your innocence goodbye
dad says we're all equal
but you know better

I won't see this serpent as a sign
these things will go
I haven't had a thought
since I've seen it end

And bit by bit the walls collide
as sleeping effegies come alive
and sing a funeral march to us
as we hum

I won't see this serpent as a sign
these things will go
A quiet room with a bed to lie on
that's enough


And so bravely you face the sun
but one day you'll stumble and succumb
fold me a hundred birds
none will fly

I won't see this serpent as a sign
I know these things they will go
I haven't had a thought
since I've seen it end


When you count your steps
in sunsets
in hopes lost
in dreams forgotten
who doesn't feel old
