i confess, yes, our fall was all my fault
if you kissed my eyes, your lips would taste salt
but you think my regret is a lie and the tears i cry
are the crocodile kind
the sweat on your upper lip starts to boil
white hot with anger, still convinced i'm your foil
from crocodile lies
you, yes, you, linger inside my heart
the same you who stopped us before we could start
i didn't want to leave, but you began to believe
your own crocodile lies
the only person stopping you is yourself
you won't accept that i want no one else
so until you do, i'll let someone else have you
every day, i live the lie
but not the crocodile kind

we
are adam and eve
born out of chaos called creation
ribbing me gave you life
yet you forget
there will always be
a part of me in you
yes
i taunted and tempted
you
with my forbidden fruit
does that make
me
the serpant too?
believe what you will
but if i am exiled
alone
i know we will be
together again someday
naked
without shame
in paradise
my thanks to you
for being in on my
sin
