Snakes from Precious Things by Wade Bryans

Night of empty streets
Where shadows meet
As darkness falls
Quiet, her footsteps sound
They’re making ground
To a small light at my door

'Though there’s snakes inside my head
And there’s ghosts and spider webs under the bed
She stays

They say, “Hey, you should really settle down”
“Think about life insurance”
But all this gravity just brings me down
The only time I ever feel weightless
Is when she comes around
And stays

Night, of ghostly breeze
And frozen trees
Like broken claws
Wait in my front yard
They’re standing guard
To greet her at my door

'Though there’s snakes inside my head
And there’s ghosts and spider webs under the bed
She stays

I know, something big is goin’ down
But wouldn’t you miss this city
Living in a little country town?
The only time I never feel restless
Is when she comes around
And stays

'Though there’s snakes inside my head
And there’s ghosts and spider webs under the bed
She stays
