At times I feel as if I've overstayed my welcome
And then I find that I'm not ready to leave
The one thing that I need is self-perseverance
I tell myself but it's so hard to believe
And now I look inside and see all the answers
And dying deep within I've heard it all before
10 snakes alone with me
I've got them in my head
Never-ending spiral clear
And yes he's always known
But son you are not of me, he disagrees
10 snakes around me all are molding to one
The warmth in their skin is flowing no more
I kiss the breath that's giving shelter to no one
For every piece of mind I've given away
The die is cast and trying hard to destroy
10 snakes alone with me
I've got them in my head
Never-ending spiral clear
And yes I've always known
