Sharon Van Etten
Serpents (Basement)
[Verse 1]
It was a close call
Sitting in the back of the room
With a bowl I had thrown at you
And you didn't know
Plug in on my black eye
I feel safe at times
Certain emblems
Tell me it's time
[Chorus]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
I don't want mine this time
[Verse 2]
You enjoy sucking on dreams
And I want to belong to someone other than you
I had a thought you would take me someday
And listen on
[Chorus]
Serpents in my mind
I am searching for your crimes
Everything changes in time
[Verse 3]
I was lost in [?]
You were looking for my attention
You were hiding at the time I said
Baby, run, better run
[Chorus]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
When everything changes
There's no more time
Possibly mine
Nights, days
[Verse 4]
Walking out I'm free at night
I feel a little safe, a little, little scared this time
Finding your crimes
You've got a knife, well, I've got a gun
[Chorus]
Serpents in my mind
Looking for your crimes
Everything changes
Looking for my crimes
Chasing despair
