Throw me, a stack of wood
To wake me up
Knit me, some socks
Just right to warm me up
Follow, my feet
Before you swallow some
Hollow is better than
The sorrow, Son
Bring me, a plate full of the mystery
Taste it, a bite of it will set you free
Throw me

Sunflower Corner

She sat pretty in the corner
Yellow like the sun that made her
She kept her fingers to herself
Trapped her voice in an inhaler
Walked across my path, sunflower
Following the light, I turned my head
Hypnotized with lips like lemonade
Caught your eyes and went away
Come with me, take a walk
Forget the day I woke you up
Turn around, you pessimist
Feel the warmth from the sky you kissed
A nirvana, heaven sent me
Sunflower, upon my sleeve and no
Words unspoken and unheard of
A spirit soaring in the sky above

Wake up, put on your red boots
Honey, there’s a line of guys
Waiting out on you
Back off, it ain’t easy
To head for the door when
It ain’t love you’re working for
Face it, I’m the one you run on
I’m your only battery
Broken, baby that’s all I am
When I sink into your company
But you’re the only one that knows me
And that’s why you stay with me
I have no time in store and no energy
That’s why you stay with me
That’s why you stay with me
That’s why you stay with me
I’ll treat you, treat you like rock salt
Baby, stamping and walking all over you
Goodbye, winter is over
I don’t need your warmth anymore
You slay me, slay me with words
Forged of your jealousy
You move me, baby how you move me
And I know
I am ready to leave
But you’re the only one that knows me
And that’s why you stay with me
I have no time in store and no energy
That’s why you stay with me
That’s why you stay with me
That’s why you stay with me

Paper Tiger
02:49

An inflating fear
Growing ever near
With nowhere to steer
Bound by vile leer
You’ve got wild shape
Teeth and eyes that gape
There is no escape
From your violent play
Paper Tiger, bares his teeth
Paper Tiger, sinks in deep
Paper Tiger, ignores scolds
Paper Tiger, oh so bold
You’re a freak of nature
You’re a great contender
You stay static, false offender
Automatic heart suspender
You’ve got wild shape
Teeth and eyes that gape
There is no escape
From your violent play
Paper Tiger, you live with me
Paper Tiger, go to sleep
Paper Tiger, you sure get old
Paper Tiger, it’s time to fold

I have these birds in cages
Of colours, shapes and sizes
I’ve bred them over ages
And fed them every crisis
I had the keys to free them,
But I fed them to the birds.
I also fed my freedom,
Every movement, every word.
I’m a hopeless nutcase
Frantic, moody, blurry love-dazed
With a compact broken suitcase
And papers still I’ve left to fold
Chasing after fire
Burning fingers for desire
Breaking bone and climbing higher
A blade without a hilt
I’ll break this cast to save me
From all the dirt that builds
Keep scraping off the chutney
And burning all the bills
I’m a hopeless nutcase
Frantic, moody, blurry love-dazed
With a compact broken suitcase
And papers still I’ve left to fold
Chasing after fire
Burning fingers for desire
Breaking bone and climbing higher
A blade without a hilt (x5)

Heads Up

Heads up, pendulum swinging
It’s pulling me down till my face hits the ceiling
Take your medicine darling
It might do you some good
Silence the thoughts that are eating you alive
Separate the words from the memories you hide
Just when you think it’s all been said and done
That’s when it blinds you from the sun
Heads up, pendulum swinging
It’s pulling me down till my face hits the ceiling
Take your medicine darling
It might do you some good
Juxtapose the expressions on my face
‘Cause I’m running around and I need the extra space
You’ve got me going down this upward downward spiral
It’s got me goin’ going gone viral
Heads up, pendulum swinging
It’s pulling me down till my face hits the ceiling
Take your medicine darling
It might do you some good
Lace up the day is starting
You don’t wanna trip over strings
While you’re running

You suck out the life
I put it back in
It’s just the red I’m losing
A river of sin
Throw me a raft
I sink and you swim
I’m losing a bucket
My body’s gone slim
Nobody’s gonna save me
No one ever knows
It hits like a hammer
And bleeds like a rose
Throw me a raft
I sink and you swim
I’m losing a bucket
My body’s gone slim
Gone slim
Gone slim
Throw me a raft
I sink and you swim
I’m losing a bucket
My body’s gone slim
Throw me a raft
I sink and you swim
I’m losing a bucket
My body’s gone slim
Gone slim
Gone slim
Gone slim

Shadows form in the corners of my room.
I slide my fingers between the spaces -
Am I closer to my doom?
Have I lost all of my romantic grace?
Violent bonds this evening draws
I swear I hear the spirits calling my name my heart
And I swear I can hear every siren call as they say
Say say say say say say:
"Baby if you stay with me
Baby I'll keep your breath.
And baby if you stay with me
I will stay with you 'til death"

Why can’t you say it?
Why do you mean it?
Times change I was born again
Keep coming down the line
Keep saying that you’re mine
Keep your mouth shut
Don’t say a thing
Help me out a bit
With a carrot or the stick
Treat me as a lover would
Doubts dismissed love understood
It wasn’t meant to be
You and I can never
See, she’s close to you
Just forget about me
I’m dying deep inside
I’m about to crumble
And I’m the only one
You’d want to hide
Why can’t you say it?
Why do you mean it?
Times change I was born again
Keep coming down the line
Keep saying that you’re mine
Keep your mouth shut
Don’t say a thing

Honey Drum

I love you don’t you know
Wherever you dance I would go
You’re the seed I would sow
In my chest, to live and grow
My eyes are glazed in honey
And my bare feet lose control
My tongue grows numb and heavy
By the taste of it all
I love you don’t you know
Wherever you dance I would go
You’re the seed I would sow
In my chest, to live and grow
My eyes are glazed in honey
And my bare feet lose control
My tongue grows numb and heavy
By the taste of it all
Son, son what’ve you done?
You can’t be the only one
Row, row
where do we go?
I’ve never done this before
Done, done give me the gun
Let’s die while we are still young
You say you’ll play the drums
Because you say you fit the part
But the only thing your beating
Is my teenage heart
I’m crazy on your sugar
Rapid fluid in my veins
You broke my circuit breaker
Yes, you’re the one to blame
Son, son what’ve you done?
You can’t be the only one
Row, row
where do we go?
I’ve never done this before
Done, done give me the gun
Let’s die while we are still young

Away said the bellhop to the boy
In tongues that confused
The spirit with the man inside
Was ripped apart in two
A chorus child to live alone
In an ashtray he called home
The innocence had come undone
And the Gothic trophy won
He chased the hums of bumblebees
And the stingers they pierced skin deep
Swollen, intoxicated mess of a man
That little boy from the lane

I saw him dive into rhythm and he did not return
With a new spirit within him stirring, I am smitten
I would confess with all I knew if he would come to my rescue
Well it's not him I'd call, it's the beast, his stature, his claws
(I said) Look at what you've reduced me to.
I've kept my distance and I've heard everything. They say
He is a creature by evening, but he is my man by day.
And they said 'Baby move your feet before he shows you his teeth.'
I've never been so moved.
Between a mundane defeat and a vicious victory, he is what I'd choose.
(I said) Look at what you've reduced me too.

Scooting about
Dumped to the ground
Looking for someone nobody’s around
Waiting and shifting down
Down the line
Grazing and sifting for my own mine
Send me an angel
Call on a fleet
I will be thankful
As all ends meet
Send me an angel
Call on a fleet
I will be thankful
As all ends meet
Wishing to stars, waiting on time
Looking out far, so far behind
They say you’re here,
Nowhere in sight
I feel no presence
But I will stick tight
Send me an angel
Call on a fleet
I will be thankful
As all ends meet
Send me an angel
Call on a fleet
I will be thankful
As all ends meet
Don’t look down
