Sharon Van Etten
Serpents (Demo)
It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
With a ball I had thrown at you
And you didn't know
Close in on my black eye
I feel safe at times
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time

Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
I don't want mine this time

You enjoy sucking on ??
And I won't belong to someone other than you
I had a thought you would take me
Seriously and listen, boy

Serpents in my mind
I am searching for your crimes
Everything changes in time
I was lost in ??
???
Better run, better run
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
When everything changes
There's no more time
Possibly mine
Nights, days

Walking on my street at night
I feel a little safe, a little in fear this time
?? crimes
You've got a knife, well I've got a gun

Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
Looking for my crime
Chasing this ??

I was lost in the ways you wanted me to run
And I climbed instead
Searching for the answers I will never find
But that's ok, I know what I'm doing this time

Serpents in my mind
Trying to find your crimes
Everything changes in time
