lyrics

i made a mistake, i trusted a fake.
i let in a snake, all the way.
i let in a snake, all the way.

i woke from a dream to sever the space
between you and me and all that we see.
to sever the space, i woke from a dream.

i built a machine to bring on the rain.
then the flood came and washed you away.
i built a machine that washed us away.

i got myself saved then started to rave.
i showed all the knaves the way to their graves
and showed all the knaves the way to their graves.

i made my escape then lived like a rake
but began to shake in an unholy wake.
i'd made a mistake, i'd let in a snake.

i called for my cane and i waited for saints.
i sat by the fire and thought up a game.
i thought up a game i'd already played.

i breathed like a freight under life's weight
and i struggled to sate the man at the gate.
then i crossed the line between birth and fate.
