Serpent Lyrics by Twin Tooth

Cusp

2022

[Intro]
In the belly of the serpent
There is space for a bed and two chairs
You can tell me nothing different
I had a dream, and I was right there
In the back room of the chapel
Where the big hands pull all of the strings
I heard there's demand for your scissors
They didn't say so, but I’m sure that's what they meant

[Chorus]
And you will want me for what I was
And you will want me for what I've been
And you will want me for what I am
And you will want me scarred and bent
And you will want me for a kind of beauty
We just made up as we went
We will want what we could be
We will want what we cannot understand

And you will want me for what I was
You will want me for what I've been
You will want me for what I am
And you will want me scarred and bent
You will want me for a kind of beauty
We just made up as we went
We will want what we could be
We will want what we cannot understand

And when the gates of our own hell open
(All the way in)
We go all the way in
(All the way in)
We go all the way in
(All the way in)
We go all the way in
We go all the way in
(All the way in)
We go all the way

[Bridge - Instrumental]
(gasp)
(gasp)
(gasp)

[Chorus]
And I will want you for what you were
I will want you for what you've been
I will want you for what you are
I will want you scarred and bent
I will want you for a kind of beauty
We just made up as we went
I will want what we could be
We will want what we cannot understand

[Outro]
Oh, those old dreams, they are threadbare
And we will make space for a wild thing to grow
All the machines rattling through our nightmares
Got nothing to say if we make the rules

(When the gates, the gates are opening)
When the gates, when the gates of our own hell open
(The gates of our own hell open)
When the gates, when the gates of our own hell open
All the way in
