The Banner - Rattlesnakes lyrics

i check my hand, it's shredded and bleeding

from holding broken glass punching echoes in the face

can't see you, eyes covered, not looking your ice blue eyes pierce like

lightning through the space

thirteen arrows tear tunnels right through me

my fingers stuff the holes but the bleeding it persists

check my mirror its cracking distorted

my vision could be questioned but the visage no doubt mine

and now i'm teasing with these rattlesnakes

i'm kissing cobras on the head

i roll the dice despite my past mistakes

only the lucky end up dead

i'll face the pain but the pain ain't mine

i shouldn't walk this late at night

asking for trouble when i climbed that fence

i'm out of my mind - shes out of sight

hey mom i'm going out tonight so put my calls on hold

now joey no fights tonight, i'd bet shed wish i was

hey mom i'm going out tonight so tell em' i'm not home

now joey no trouble tonight, how does she always know.
