The hunger/Thoughts of the serpent.


My thoughts are all vile

My heart filed with hate

I can go the mile!

But what will it take?

 

This hunger consumes me

These fears drive me forward

Did I become this?

Or was this how I was born?

 

Will my hunger last forever.

Will my hopes go unabated

I feel I'll reach goals never.

Due to this hunger I seem to have created

 

These fears keep me awake

With phyicical pain through the night

Though my mind is a snake

I continue to struggle in my fight.

 

Have you ever felt alone

Have you ever felt hungry

Have you ever felt hopeless

Lets return to address lonely

 

Everyone feels alone sometimes

I've seen this

Its true

But when the sometimes is always

Fuck what do you do?!

 

To cope with the mania 

I claim to be great

Though i know the truth it is to remain

That is the hunger of the snake.
