Snakes in the Temple

[Intro] Sacred spaces turned to poison Temple walls can't keep me safe From the venom in your promises And the lies you gave [Verse 1] Coiled around my temple steps Your tracks lead to needles and regret Daddy's little secret shame While incense burns to hide your game Dev's kisses taste like danger now Friends with benefits, show me how To dance with snakes and still survive In this city where trust has died [Chorus] Serpentine, serpentine Slithering through my divine Breaking trust, breaking me Now I see, now I see What you've done to my peace Sacred spaces you released Your poison deep inside of me [Verse 2] Marcus sold my soul for fame Playing mentor in his twisted game Manchester's concrete falling down Like the tears I refuse to drown Studio lights hide the truth Of how you stripped away my youth Every beat, every sound Is the venom that I found [Bridge] But I'm charming serpents now Taking back my crown Turn your poison into power Watch me burn this temple down [Outro] Sacred spaces turned to ashes But from these flames, I'll rise Dancing through the wreckage With new fire in my eyes
