A person ain’t a person Without a story that’s been told It's old, it’s cinema playing the family’s fears like a replica And when the story’s my life I never let the cameras roll This shit is old, it’s old Way too proud Just like my father When chips are down I know it ain’t the first time I’ve seen this, I've seen this through Afraid to fall With all this pressure One and for all I know it ain’t the first time Listen Everybody is a crawling serpent Looking for a place to shed Every heartbeat is a memory Of a past life mislead Everybody is a crawling serpent Looking for a place to shed Every heartbeat is a memory Of a past life mislead Is it a new book? Or a different page? I know, I know This story was a story way before I was born And when the pieces come together you can pick at the thorn I know, it’s old A hint of superstition or a family curse? As long as I got hope I know I won’t make it worse I know, yeah Everybody is a crawling serpent Looking for f place to shed Every heartbeat is a memory Of a past life mislead La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie ie ie ie ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie ie ie ie ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie ie ie ie ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie La, la, la la ie ie ie ie ie ie ie
