Serpentine - Emily Rose

I watched you slur the serenity prayer

As the blue bled out of your eyes

I could have lived inside your well-crafted promises

But then again, I could have died

What doesn’t stand up on its own is leaning

That’s the role I play in your dream

You star in mine as a charmer

A beautifully flawed serpentine

There’s a war going on inside of you

There’s a war going on inside of me too

I get lost chasing your storm

Or am I running from my own?

Either way the windows broken

Poison’s leaking in

Should it matter the thrower of the stone?
