Schwa Lyrics

Serpentine

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

If I could just close my eyes, calm my own insides
Maybe I could find some peace of mind
If I could rest my aching bones, spend some time alone
Oh, the emotional mountains I could climb

A lie in wait volcano, pressure mounting high
Hopin’ to find the answer, before it shoots up to the sky

I know that you've got your troubles, you must know that I've got mine
I wish I had your solution, mine seems somewhat hard to find
I don't move in one direction, I don't follow any line
I can't tell you where I'm going, life is moving serpentine

Gimme just one little pill, help me up that hill
I don't wanna feel that way today
Maybe just a touch of the kind, help myself unwind         
Help me play the hand that's been dealt my way

Feel the waters churning, the inner maelstrom swirl
Looking to find some calm, in this frenetic world

I know that you've got your troubles, you must know that I've got mine
I wish I had your solution, mine seems somewhat hard to find
I don't move in one direction, I don't follow any line
I can't tell you where I'm going, life is moving serpentine

The mental pain, I just can't explain
I don’t understand just what I fear
If there was a magic spell, to break me out of hell
That’d be the answer to all my prayers

Help is out there somewhere, I know that it's close at hand
I hope I find it someday, for now I'll do what I can

I know that you've got your troubles, you must know that I've got mine
I wish I had your solution, mine seems somewhat hard to find
I don't move in one direction, I don't follow any line
I can't tell you where I'm going, life is moving serpentine
