Serpents Lyrics

It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
With the boy you belong
But they didn't know
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e71930-sharon_van_etten~serpents_lyrics.html ]
Closing on my black eye
Feels safe at times
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time

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

You enjoy sucking on dreams
So I will fall asleep
With someone other than you
I had a thought you would take me
Seriously and listen up

Serpents in my mind
I am searching for your crimes
Everything changes
In time, you'll stay
Frozen in time,
Collaging girls
Controlling minds
You hold the mirror well
To everybody else

Serpents in my mind
Trying to forgive your crimes
Everyone changes in time
I hope he changes this time
