lyrics

FIRST VERSE
Again the bottle spun, and pointed out the next incision
I liked to think that I could choose, like it’s my own decision..
(But) of all the thinks that I could think I’d never thought of saying
Yeah Love is love, and love is all, but is love self-containing?

Things are good, and things are bad, things turn out as they turn out
Just grit the teeth and climb the mountains till you’re all but burnt out
Open up, but not too much… just enough to let the warmth through
Such a kind soul, and pure of heart, seems such a shame I want to hide her.
Boundless love comes with a binding ring
Love that thing I’ve put you in.

SECOND VERSE
And every day I would squint out the green that filled my eyes up,
My enemy, but mine alone, and one that I can’t bring up
One might assume that when I’m silent, my whole soul is spinning
I just can’t give the satisfaction to it, that it’s winning.

I cannot speak of it, because it alters your behaviour
Concretes imagination, words solidify the stranger
The mask you’re in, so masculine, Remove it? I’d be mad to.
He’ll touch her like she touches me, can’t stop the want to have to
To hide her.
You seem enamoured, fixated on him.
Love that thing I’ve put you in

THIRD VERSE
Chameleonic tendencies, a flair for adaptation
I’m not two-faced, I just react in certain situations
It’s not a happiness that I persue, it’s education.
So long as there’s a chance of growth, I will endure frustration.

That need to understand is futile, I must learn acceptance
And face the charge, that green-eyed spark that seeks its own repentance.
There’s no such thing as contradiction, it’s called ‘’changing your mind’’
The more I speak, the less I give, and less I find I have to – to hide her.
Speaking of it gives much less to sing
Love that thing I’ve put you in
