Call in a favour, I need to contain it
And I'll be the razor if you wanna play
And I know it's dangerous, well honey what can I say?
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake
Feel the frustration push its way round my veins
Tense and outrageous, like a hit of cocaine
Tried to embrace it, it's the only way
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake
So I hold these chains, walking
I could just stay
Wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
I could just stay
Wasting away
Is this my purpose, or was it born in the flames?
I'm feeling impatient, I'm pretty sick of the games
I am a puppet, without any strings
I'm lost in the vortex with the golden snake
I've been devoured and soon I'll be waste
Soak up the poison, I had to give it a taste
You'll lay the flowers along to my grave
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake
So I hold these chains
Walk, into the serpent's cage
So I hold these chains, walking
I could just stay, wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
Well I've been in pain, permanently
Oh don't trust the snake (don't, don't, don't)
I could just stay, wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
I could just stay, wasting away
Try to keep my head in between the lines
Couldn't look away from the serpent's eyes
Totally vacant, hypnotised
Save me
Try to keep my head in between the lines
Couldn't look away from the serpent's eyes
Totally vacant, hypnotised
Save me
