"Serpentine is about a conversation I experienced with my father around the age of 18. Some of the lyrics in this song are direct quotes from what I had said to him at the time and an overview of my life with and without him."
lyrics
I don't fucking know you.
You want to kill me? You know where to find me.
There's no love, just the knife you left behind me.
Lodged in my back, you wanted me to bleed to death.
If you have an intention to kill, I'll cut off your fucking head.
I never knew you.
If drugs numbed the mistakes we made and gave back the life you took away from me. Maybe then I wouldn't hesitate to stick the needle in your arm so you could die in a lonely grave.
You won't rest in peace.
You will be forgotten.
On your deathbed, you won't sleep.
You can fucking bow down to me.
You wanted me to meet an end.
It's no me but the drugs you depend on, cunt.
