The Constriction Method Of Love

The Constriction Method Of Love

In lily lake, ladies gathered for a sacrifice.
Muscled snake, constriction coil looping
regulates her heart, fertility. Will you have her
until death, when true love parts its mate?

But...wait, don't keep living in this poison lake.
This is not love forever, if he takes you to the depth.
In decay, maggots thriving on her harvest.
Muscled man, applies weight to her angelic waist.
The taste inside your mouth isn’t her; self-necrotizing,
woman bait over-feasts on bones of dead, lies in wait.

Don’t you see? She can’t love you like you could love
someone else forever. She lies in wait; don’t take the bait.
That snake is her mate! Coiling up all around you, too.
No super human could separate from her demonic fate.

In lily lake, ladies gathered for a sacrifice
muscled snake, a constriction coil, looping,
regulates her heart, if you’ll have until death
when true love has to part from its mate

But...wait, he can't love you like I love you!
wait, before fate. wait, don't keep living in this lake --
not destiny -- a love forever if he takes you to the depth
in my heart you'll find a reason. ‘cause, he
can’t love you like I love you!

in decay, maggots thrive on a harvest
in stagnant water. muscled man applied his weight
to her waist, consuming all she had until death. It’s too lat --

But, wait! The taste inside your mouth isn’t her.
self-necrotizing, woman bait over-feasting on bones of dead.
Don’t you see, she don’t love you like you could love
someone else forever. She lies in wait, don’t take the bait
'cause she can’t love you, if this is fate.

That snake is her mate! coiling up all around you.
Please don't think you can separate her from a fate.
