Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
With a bowl I had thrown at you
And you didn't know
Looking on my black eye
I feel safe at times
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time
[Verse 2]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
I don't want mine
This time
You enjoy sucking on lies
And I want to belong to someone other than you
I had a thought you would take me
Seriously and listen on
[Verse 3]
Serpents in my mind
I am searching for your crimes
Everything changes
In time
I was lost in the boy
Better stay
And you're looking for my attention
Here we go again everytime
So, I'd say you better run
Better run
[Verse 4]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your
Crimes
When everything changes
There's no more time
Possibly my nights, days
[Verse 5]
Walking on my street at night
I feel a little safe, a little in fear
It's time
Lying and your crimes
You've got a knife
Well I've got a gun
[Verse 6]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your
Crimes
Everything changes
Looking for my
Crime
Chasing this bad
I was lost in the world
You wanted me to run
And I climbed instead
[Verse 7]
Searching for the answers
I will never find
But that's okay
I know what I'm doing this time
Serpents in my mind
Trying to find your crimes
Everything changes in time
