[Verse 1] can't you feel it too, always pulling at you like it knows the weak spot in your chest you keep moving on, then it grabs out of nowhere and makes a joke of self-respect someone turn on the switch before I slip and flinch I know that taste, I know that itch and I hate how easy it is to listen someone turn on the switch there's more at stake than this better to be broke than bliss that's why I've always heard the serpents hiss [Chorus] Serpent in the doorway, devil at the knee One hand on the latch, one hand on the keys It says, “come a little closer, I’ll make it make sense” But it talks in cheap tricks and borrowed confidence Serpent in the doorway, devil on the line Keeps calling my name like it owns my spine I can hear it laugh when I start to bend Yeah, I know that voice — I know how this ends [Verse 2] I met it once outside that corner store in a black hoodie, leaning on the glass said, "you still carrying that old hurt around?" like it knew the whole damn past it had my brother's laugh and my bad half-baked plans talked me into one more step, one more chance then left me holding what I couldn't stand I still see that parking lot the cart corral, the busted clock it never came with horns or a warning sign just a grin and a way of saying "why not" [Chorus] Serpent in the doorway, devil at the knee One hand on the latch, one hand on the keys It says, “come a little closer, I’ll make it make sense” But it talks in cheap tricks and borrowed confidence Serpent in the doorway, devil on the line Keeps calling my name like it owns my spine I can hear it laugh when I start to bend Yeah, I know that voice — I know how this ends [Bridge] But what if I don't answer this time? What if I just cut the line? You think you know me, think you own this space But I'm tearing down the walls, erasing every trace I'm not a puppet on your string, not a game you get to win This time, when you call, you won't find me within [Instrumental solo] Yeah i know that Voice...
