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

in 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 (x2)

they're ringing the bell (x2)

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

if it looks like i'm not trying i don't care what it looks like

cause i stood at the alter and everything turned white

all I heard was the sound... of the world coming down around me (x2)

why wouldn't i be trying

why wouldn't i try (x2)

cause those double tongues are singing hear the wail of the choir through the fog

the sound 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 (x2)

why wouldn't i be trying to figure it out it 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 hounds will cross universes to circle around our feet

i know they're 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 (x2)
