Serpent's Grin

Verse 1

Genevieve wore black to the service

Fingertips tracing the will

Said she'd handle all the paperwork

While Joshua stood frozen and still

Pre-Chorus

She locked the study door at midnight

Heard the shredder humming low

Blood runs thinner than the money

When there's nothing left to hold

Chorus

Oh Genevieve

Sister with a serpent's grin

Oh Genevieve

Counted every cent he'd been living in

Took the keys to the kingdom

Left a brother with nothing but skin

Verse 2

Joshua called her fifty times

Voicemail filled and cold

The family house went up for sale

The story that she told

Pre-Chorus

Signed his name on faded paper

Forgery in perfect blue

Every promise turned to vapor

Guess the mask just finally slipped through

Chorus

Oh Genevieve

Sister with a serpent's grin

Oh Genevieve

Counted every cent he'd been living in

Took the keys to the kingdom

Left a brother with nothing but skin

Bridge

Dad would turn in his grave

If he saw the paper trail

Love was just a costume

She wore so well

Drop

Genevieve

Genevieve

Took it all

Took it all

Chorus

Oh Genevieve

Sister with a serpent's grin

Oh Genevieve

Counted every cent he'd been living in

Took the keys to the kingdom

Left a brother with nothing but skin
