Snakes in my brain
What's it that stirs you lot
What are you warning me of
Your restless writhing
Is like treading water
What's it that makes you thrash
Why can't you sit still
Why can't you find peace
You perpetual watchers
What's it that wakes you up
Keeps your eyes wide open
What serpent is there to bite me
What eagle talons do you watch for
What's it that stirs you lot
What are you warning me of
We're safe and sound
And yet you tread water
What are you warning me of
Your restless writhing
Is like treading water
What's it that makes you thrash
Why can't you sit still
Why can't you find peace
You perpetual watchers
What's it that wakes you up
Keeps your eyes wide open
What serpent is there to bite me
What eagle talons do you watch for
What's it that stirs you lot
What are you warning me of
We're safe and sound
And yet you tread water
