Well, she stands
Upon the ledge
Drawing nearer
To the edge
And she lives
Quite peacefully
Amongst the snake
And the apple tree
And her stare
It breaks the ground
As your world
Is tumbling down
All your troubles
All your lies
She expels
With a watching eye
Well she knows
What you hold
What your heart
says to soul

Cry baby cry
have yourself a tantrum
Banging both your wrists
on your tiny tin drum
Crocodile tears
fall from your cheekbones
Your mouth is dancing
to the saddest mending moan
Not even you
Knows which way the love goes
To the top of the rock
Or to the soil deep below
Cry baby cry
Talk all your teeth out
They ran upon the floor
Like a rattle with the beads about
You're talking backwards
A serpent of a mantra
you spin like a carousel
You can't control it can't ya
Not even you
knows which way the life goes
To the top of the rock
Or to the soil deep below

When you open your eyes
you find what to believe
And how to die
Unterrified
Oh let go
With no wonder why
Oh reflect and you shall see
When you part your lips
you taste freedom
From the tangible world
Unjaded
Oh kiss, your lover, kiss
Lovelessly love and simply sigh
When you withdraw the breath
You reflect mercy
to the child in you
Umembarrassed
Oh rejoice, infant, rejoice
Oh blessed be the heart

Worry
03:10
|

The cloth is made with no pockets
So don't hold on
Kingdom of your voice
Echoing loud and strong
Beautiful child
Just relax and open up your heart
Thinking so bad when you truly are
The pole apart
Don't worry, there's no worry
this too shall fade in the end
Don't worry, there's no worry
You'll get there
When you can
Your eyes are dim
But your mind is curled up in flames
Kettle of your skull makes the meal
Of which the soul sustains
And while you're cooking, shine your teeth
The only bones that show
It's all that matters
In the moment of the afterglow
Don't worry, there's no worry
This too shall fade in the end
Don't worry, there's no worry
You've reached your home blindfolded
Now you've done all that
you've have been meant to do
Heres the question
is there more of that which lies in you?

Mama I know why you sleep
The heart is strong but your body's weak
Love in your eyes and death in your bones
Your freedom's tied to crying alone
It's alright, mama
Don't you cry
your baby's dine
Go and find
Break off your shackles
Beak off your chains
Immolate all that remains
Johnny, I know why you run
The darkness of youth runs undone
The smirk of your mouth, the tales of your lips
You think you're clean but your life's a fix
It's alright, Johnny
Don't you try
Everyone's fine
Go out, don't find
Take off the worry, take off the paint
We're all okay, just go away

Everything

Kissing the light
of the Saturday night
Finish your drink and smile
Get ready to die
You smile to love
The reminiscent of
the beautiful past
it don't last
Get ready to fall
You run out the door
Don't expect anymore
you scream and cry
you're alive
Get ready to kill
Everything happens for reasons
What control do you have
Something turns always to nothing
And returns to everything then
Kissing the light
of the Saturday night
Finish your drink and smile
Get ready to live
