The Snake in the Sheets Lyrics by Messenger Down

What Should Have Been Said

2014

[Verse 1 : Garrett]
It started in a garden, it was spreading like a curse
Like a virus, oh, her highness even said he was the first
But the flicker in her hips was like the linger from her lips
And as it grew it would find you at your worst
[Verse 2]
She never had that much to say, but never needed more
Than a longing in her eyes behind a tightly locked door
And as the sky was raining red, you couldn't say you didn't care
It was the last he said before he disappeared
[Bridge]
She sells books of spells, and she's not gonna cry
[Chorus]
Like a snake, it's gonna get you
It's gonna get you good
And you're not gonna see it at all
You won't even feel it until you're dead
[Verse 3]
Rewind, 2009, before she knew her lines
How did that sweet girl turn out to be
A heartless snake living in your sheets?
[Bridge]
Now she sells herself, to take all that is yours (to take all that is yours)
And she's been waiting to unlock your drawers
[Chorus]
Like a snake, it's gonna get you
It's gonna get you good
And you're not gonna see it at all
You won't even feel it until you're dead
[Outro x2]
After all of your destruction
How can you function at all?
One day I'm gonna watch you fall
You won't even feel it until you're dead
[Chorus x2]
