Serpents

At the end of my road I’m on the edge

I should sleep this away

I will never understand why I was made this way

You think you get it but you don’t

This deal is one of a kind

I remember the days of black and white so clearly

Wondering if this is the beginning of the end

The part of me that wants to die is alive and well

It’s a war that can only be won inside my own mind

And it’s a battle I refuse to lose

When I let these serpents inside my head

The world loses it’s color to the demons it has fed

When I let them inside my head every day every day

Twisting my thoughts into complicated knots

The clock is ticking driving needles deep into my head

I don’t need the help that you can give

You’re just a serpent stuck on leading me astray

Dragging me into the dark but you failed

My thoughts have bled for a reason

I won’t follow you into the dark

I’ll find my own place and where I need to be

I put up walls to cage the animal that is me

I tried to put myself down and set my mind free

You think I need to be told that I’m more

Messed up than I should be?

I am the animal there is no escaping me
