Where the Serpent Lies

[Verse 1] You smile with that clean face But your hands shake in the frame There’s venom in the cracks And it knows my name You stack your pretty excuses Like cards on a blade I watch them lean and tremble Till the whole thing caves [Pre-Chorus] Keep talking, keep talking I can hear it crack Every small lie Coming right back You hide it in the daylight But I see the seam [Chorus] Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpent slights Say it slow, say it right Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpent slides And it bites from inside (serpent lies) [Verse 2] I found you in the hallway With your phone face down A name on your lips That you never said out loud The sugar in your answer Turns bitter on my tongue Now the whole room feels crowded With the things you’ve done [Pre-Chorus] Keep talking, keep talking I can hear it crack Every small lie Coming right back You hide it in the daylight But I see the seam [Chorus] Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpent slights Say it slow, say it right Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpents slides And it bites from inside (serpent lies) [Bridge] Take off the mask Let the mess breathe You built that nest Now it’s under me No more sweet talk No more alibis I pulled the thread Now watch it rise [Final Chorus] Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpent slights Say it slow, say it right Where the Serpent Lies Beneath the lies you can't handle That's where the serpents slides And it bites from inside (serpent lies)
