[Lyric] Vices Like Vipers (Oh, Sleeper)

You're scarlet soaked and bold
And the sheep's eyes locked to mine, sinks to my bones
Though your lips still drip
Intentions, they keep me wanting more

It's rising against all the walls we built for falling
All the walls we built just stand in vain to draw you near
It's the wool to hide the wolves

And under these toes from where we last spoke, Your words laid so firm
But I did not shed that skin like You said
When the mason neglects the mortar, looks become deceiving
And when the bricks start to fall, I'll be the one crawling
Down this road so dark

Vices like vipers
That speak in whispers
My heel's the meat to sink your teeth
Like a viper
I kept when You said, "Let go"
This is what it took for me to see
For me to see
When I am God, this church is un-
When I am God, this church is unsound

Slithering in the shade of a sinking church
Surprise is no excuse for the traps that you left in the wake of warning
So this is your warning, you fall to learn
And to the girls, you're worth more than the cheap words
You see your body as beauty, your pulse is worth more

Hear me, it's not what it seems
The feeding taste of honesty
This is the warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency
My urgencies
This is a warning, you're just a hit to coax my urgency
Coax My urgency

Why do we keep what holds us?
Why do I keep what holds me down?
Lose the weight of defeat
It's time to stand your ground

Vices like vipers
That speak in whispers
My heel's the meat to sink your teeth
Like a viper
I kept when You said, "Let go"
This is what it took for me to see
For me to see
Since all the alibis of ignorance are void

This, my lust, the pornos and the sluts
Take, my lust, this world's love
Great Counselor, take what's left
Great Counselor, take what's left of me
