Serpentine Prison - Matt Berninger

I see the starlight through the clouds

Why won’t anybody listen to me?

Don’t make me say it again out loud

Big star, I do and don’t worry baby

Bipolar pride, swim in the tide

Keep your dead head above, and your chin up

You’re gonna have a pretty hard time

Without drugs, without love

Total submission

I’ve seen a vision

Everyone’s screamin'

I’ve been daydreamin'

Sorry I’m fishin'

Without permission

Tell her I miss her

In a serpentine prison

Don’t try to connect the dots anymore

Let 'em go, they’re gonna do it on their own

Tell me that I’m not in this alone

And, man, I’m so sorry, I don’t know why I’m slow

I feel like an impersonation of you

Or am I doin' another version of you doin' me?

Nobody’s ever really thinkin' about us

Half as much as we want 'em to be

Total frustration

Deterioration

Nationalism

Another moon mission

Total submission

I’ve seen a vision

Call electrician

Serpentine prison

Whatever it is

I try not to listen

Cold cynicism

And blind nihilism

I need a vacation

From intoxication

Tell her I miss her

In a serpentine prison

I’ve been pickin' my kid up from school

Smellin' like Girl Scout Cookies and drool

I still crawl up to you every night

Do not forgive me, I’m a reptile

You say I’m a lot, I’m hard to take

I think you’re just drinkin' the water

I walk into walls and I lay awake

I don’t wanna give it to my daughter

Total submission

I’ve seen a vision

Everyone’s screamin'

I’ve been daydreamin'

Sorry I’m fishin'

Without permission

Tell her I miss her

In a serpentine prison

Total frustration

Deterioration

Nationalism

Another moon mission

Total submission

I’ve seen a vision

Call electrician

Serpentine prison

Whatever it is

I try not to listen

Cold cynicism

And blind nihilism

I need a vacation

From intoxication

Tell her I miss her

In a serpentine prison

Total submission

I’ve seen a vision

Everyone’s screamin'

I’ve been daydreamin'

Sorry I’m fishin'

Without permission

Tell her I miss her

In a serpentine prison
