about

I had this idea in my head where people in the future are taking a drug to walk among the dead (or afterlife, whatever you want to call it) and that it became an addiction among people. Slang for taking the drug is called "Riding The Snake" but after reading through it, it's also a decent metaphor for drug addiction. Or you can just picture a giant snake with you wearing a cowboy hat riding it into the sunset.......or cocks.

lyrics

Return to conscious
In a harness slab
In waking moment, machines greet the morning light

Traverse The Sunder
Where not tread before
Three drops that pull you into
All that’s gone

These are the runners
Of breathless funnel
Traverse the sunder
Undetected (x3)

Beyond the grave
A phantom moves in astral sight
Echoes weep for inert futures
Take my hand and ride the snake

Outlawed oppression
In these city roads
Tyrants hands keep the junkies flowing and take hold

What is the purpose
We feel this need
To walk tightropes of heartbeats stopping
In petty greed

These are the runners
Of breathless funnel
Traverse the sunder
Undetected (x3)

Beyond the grave
A phantom moves in astral sight
Echoes weep for inert futures
Take my hand and ride the snake
