Coil

 

in this uncertainty

hides a brighter, bluer day

that is what they say

but silence is security

if it keeps the wolves at bay

that is what they say

 

in synchronicity

lies a quiet ticking clock

a heart wrapped in a box

but silence is simplicity

if love is lost on talk

a heart locked in a box

 

to think that I

would tell you so

the snakes have eyes

in their mortal coil

 

I didn't mind being alone

when I was alone in you

I didn't find I missed my home

when I could atone in you

 

to think that I

would tell you so

the snakes have eyes

in their mortal coil

 

to fear that I

may never know

your railroad ties

firm against the soil

 

to pray that I

won't ever show

a fear to fly

o'er that wailing wall

 

to see that I

should know it's so

the snakes have eyes

in their mortal coil
