Snake in the Grass
Deceptive Dance of Betrayal
Lyrics
Wait for me by the sea
Expressing a request to be waited for by the sea.
I’ll tell you everything you needed to believe
Promising to disclose everything necessary for belief.
Through encoded messages and texts
Using coded messages and texts for communication.
Communication at its best, that’s me
Boasting about effective communication skills.
Can’t you see me smiling
Asking if the listener can see a deceptive smile.
Through the teeth made out of wood?
Describing a fake smile through wooden teeth.
This feint’s not working out so good, you see
Acknowledging that the deception is not working well.
I’m a bit of everything, a farce from the start
Admitting to being a combination of various things, a deception from the beginning.
You were the ruse, you were the cover
Referring to the listener as part of the deception.
Of a deception like no other
Describing the listener as a cover for an unparalleled deception.
You’ll know the truth when you discover
Implying that the truth will be revealed when discovered.
I’m more than an inconvenient lover
Stating that the speaker is more than just a troublesome lover.
I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief
Committing to providing a concise explanation of the intelligence.
This plot is not as thick as it seems to me
Suggesting that the plot is not as complex as it appears.
I’ll stand here outside in the cold
Waiting outside in the cold for support.
Waiting for an ally to relieve my post
Expecting an ally to relieve the speaker's position.
A turncoat switched at your behest
Mentioning a turncoat who switched sides at the listener's request.
Treason’s not so bad in jest, I’m told
Claiming that treason is not necessarily bad, especially in jest.
My allegiance has been sold
Admitting that loyalty has been betrayed.
An infiltrator in your care, a snake in the grass, I know you’re scared
Identifying oneself as an infiltrator causing fear, a snake in the grass.
But I won’t succumb to fear like a shade in the dark
Asserting resilience against succumbing to fear like a shade in the dark.
You were the ruse, you were the cover
Repeating the listener's role in the deception.
Of a deception like no other
Reiterating that the deception is unparalleled.
You’ll know the truth when you discover
Re-emphasizing that the truth will be revealed eventually.
I’m more than an inconvenient lover
Repeating that the speaker is more than a troublesome lover.
I’ll try to keep the intelligence brief
Committing again to providing a concise explanation of the intelligence.
This plot is not as thick as it seems to me

Would you release me from this service?
Pleading to be released from the deceptive service.
‘Cause no one here deserves this

The winds of change will clear the way

And leave me with a world to pave

You would bless me if you cursed this

‘Cause it’s too late to reverse this

We’ve come too far to clear the stain

I’ll build my house out of the waste
