My parents threw me to the pits When I was just a little kid That’s why I only know the cold And loving touch is stranglehold
Flesh of my flesh Bone of my bone Please hear your partner In all his earnest If you are willing
It feels like I’ve created a life Centered around mostly sacrifice And I don’t want to be your Jesus… So I’ll be the Devil Bass line to your treble
It’s never been about the same I’ve always played a diff’rent gam… And when you think you’ve got me n… I’ll show you something unexplaine…
Always lived a life that’s been Filled with devils, marked by sin Never thought my darker side Be the thing that brings you light
Walked a labyrinth And wrote a poem Then suddenly It all exploded
I need to get him out So he feels the treat Of an empty bladder Grass beneath his feet
Caught a glance Just by chance And it somehow moved me Head snapped Thunder clapped
The world that I was born into Is not the world I want I work to try to get back to A one that values plants
I need to be Out in the bush Not just a mere Craving or crush It’s a huge piece
We’ve reached the acme of intimacy When I taste like you And you taste like me
Treat yourself Like you wish others Would treat you
I am a simple, joyful man Without a thing you’d call a plan I bounce around and bump into What I would call my Katmandu
Remembering that fateful day I wish I hadn’t run away I saw the fire in your eyes And it froze me as if a spire I thought I’d have a cooler head
Be... Fun loving Hard working Compassionate And ruthless
