Mastodon - Eyes of Serpents lyrics

All eyes forward see what's to be done
Calloused as I am becoming
Less and less of my own
If I burn the bridges leaving the ash behind
There's no choice but to move on
Within a heartbeat the dream is dead

All that I have sacrificed is leaving
Me and letting go now
I don't want to leave you here
Alone among the wind and weeping

Circles I've broken
Once, they seemed so clear
Leaving the past I buriеd deep in yesteryear
This will bring back mеmories
That I don't want anymore
Always see reminders
And now I close the door
The illusion is gone, the end is here

All that I have sacrificed is leaving
Me and letting go now
I don't want to leave you here
Alone among the wind and weeping
If I could crawl beneath the earth and
Settle with the worms and dirt
I'd steal the eyes of serpents soothing
Powers from the deep blue sea

Is this just our fortune or unexpected fate?
A betterment for all
The trials we made are troubling
They smother me lay me bare to dry
Begging me to call it quit's and go for broke
Bury me as I fall
To treat you as a part of me, it hollows you
The story has to fold
