Song Lyrics

And I don't believe in double vision
And I don't think that two heads are better than one
All I can see is Ouroboros
When my pet snakes are sizing me up

And if you don't believe in destiny,
Then take what you're given
Oh, you and I got caught between magic and business

We walked in on you while you were polishing your knives
(While your eyes were turning green)
Sleeping in a twin bed with a serpent by your side
(Are you trying to compete with me?)
Talk a lot of shit but you would never start a fight
(Fantasize about killing me)
God it makes me queasy when you smile
(Through your jealousy)

And I don't believe in sucking your way to the top
Fingers crossed, you're flipping me off
No, I don't need your supervision
I'll sink this ship if I want

And if you don't believe in chemistry,
Then what were we doing?
Oh, you and I had everything
From rebirth to ruin

Well, every time you come around I have to run and hide
(And your eyes, are they bleeding?)
I get claustrophobic even when I am outside
(Are you trying to put a hex on me?)
I thought we were brothers, man I thought that we were tight
(But your bite is so evil)
Sucking out the venom of your bite
(As you poison me)

Hey, dad. Hello?

And I don't believe that paradise is lost
I say this with my fingers crossed

And if you don't believe in prophecy
Decide when it's finished
Oh, you and I tried everything
From heroin to Guinness

2009 it was a bastard of a year
(Lalala, pass the joint to me)
I cannot get stoned no more I only get the fear
(These good times, they are killin' me)
We can have it out or we can have another beer
(I could lie so we're even)
All the best of luck with your career
