Serpentine

I call her my love
My nemesis
My nothing at all
My everything
I think I might fall
Into a pit
Of where my vices
Will live to serve this itch
Taking my life
Into my own hands
Separate myself
From the mortal man
Diving in deep
And coming up short
'Cause in the dark is
Where I resort

Divebomb
To the bottom
Pressured
To choose my poison
Ready to live
Choosing to die
Release me
Before the start

Serpentine
(You can't escape)
Suffering
(What do you think?)
Set me free
(You try to lie down and let this become what you need)
My serpentine

Serpentine
(You're bound to break)
Suffering
(You're such a fake)
Set me free
(And then you take, and take, and take, and take, and take)
(Until I collapse)
My serpentine
(And then you go away)

Giving what's left
To finding what's next
Needing to suffer
It's what I do best
Wanting nothing
More than you
My sweet serpentine has made me brand new

(My sweet serpentine has made me brand new)

Passed out and red
Thinking I'm dead
Losing sight of
What I have left
Lay in the streets
Keeping discreet
Letting my nonsense
Be all of me
Quietly scream
To be anything
Than losing my voice as
I'm falling asleep
Living in shame
You call out my name
I never respond
I'm not listening

Serpentine
(You can't escape)
Suffering
(What do you think?)
Set me free
(You try to lie down and let this become what you need)
My serpentine

Serpentine
(You're bound to break)
Suffering
(You're such a fake)
Set me free
(And then you take, and take, and take, and take, and take)
(Until I collapse)
My serpentine
(And then you go away)

(My sweet serpentine has made me brand new)

SERPENTINE
SUFFERING
SET ME FREE
MY SERPENTINE
