Call in a favour, I need to contain it
I'll be the razor, if you wanna play
I know it's dangerous, honey what can I say
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
Try to embrace it, it's the only way
I'm just a prisoner, to the golden snake

So I hold these chains, and walk
I could just stay
Wasting away
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
Feeling inpatient, pretty sick the games
I am a puppet, without the strings
Lost in the vortex, of the golden snake
I've been devoured, soon I'll be waste
Soak up the poison, I had to give it a taste
You'll lay the flowers, onto my grave
Cause I'm just a prisoner, to the golden snake

So I hold these chains
And walk, into the serpents cage
So I hold these chains
And walk
I could just stay
Wasting away
Been looking for a reason to draw the line
I've been in pain, permanently
Don't trust the snake
I could just stay
Wasting away
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 and hypnotised
Save me
