Help does not just walk up to you
I could have told you that
I'm not an idiot
I could have told you that
Every serpent's eye
Watch you go where you go
Every serpents double tongue
Takes a turn with your soul
If you let them ring your bell
If you let them ring your bell
They're ringing the bell
They're ringing the bell
Why wouldn't I be trying to figure it out?
Everyone tells you that
Everyone tells you not to quit
I can't even see it to fight it
It looks like I'm not trying
I don't care what it looks like
'Cause I stood at the altar
And everything turned white
All I heard was the sound
Of the world coming down around me
All I heard was the sound
Of the world coming down around me
Why wouldn't I be trying?
Why wouldn't I try?
Why wouldn't I try?
'Cause them double tongues are singing
Hear the wail of the choir through the fog
The double tongues are singing
I hear the wail of that choir through the fog
They're always close
They're always so close
Always close
Always so close
If there's a way out, it will be step by step through the black
If there's a way out, it will be step by step through the black
Why wouldn't I be trying to figure it out?
Don't mean I'm not trying if I don't make it back
I know serpents will cross universes to circle around our necks
I know the hounds will cross universes to circle around our feet
They're always close
Always so close
Step by step, one's beside me
To kill me or to guide me
Why wouldn't I be trying to figure which one out?
Why wouldn't I be trying to figure which one out?
