Ring The Bell - Songs: Ohia

Help does not just walk up to you

I could have told you that, I’m not an idiot

I could have told you that

In every serpent’s eye, watch you go where you go

Every serpents double tongue takes a turn with your soul

If you let 'em ring your bell

Let 'em ring the bell

They’re ringing the bell

They’re ringing the bell

Why wouldn’t I be trying to figure it out

Everyone tells you that

Everyone tells you not to quit

I can’t even see it to fight it

If it looks like I’m not trying, I don’t care what it looks like

'Cause I stood at the altar and everything turned white

All I heard was the sound

Of the world coming down around me

All I heard was the sound

Of the world coming down around me

Why wouldn’t I be trying

Why wouldn’t I try

Why wouldn’t I try

'Cause those double tongues are singing

Hear the wail of the choir through the fog

Those double tongues are singing

I hear the wail of the choir through the fog

They’re always close

They’re always so close

Always close

Always so close

If there’s a way out it will be step by step through the black

If there’s a way out it will be step by step through the black

Why wouldn’t I be trying to figure it out

It don’t mean I’m not trying if I don’t make it back

I know serpents will cross universes to circle around our necks

I know hounds will cross universe to circle around our feet

They’re always close

Always so close

Step by step

One’s beside me to kill me or to guide me

Why wouldn’t I be trying to figure which one out

Why wouldn’t I be trying to figure which one out
