I'll lay down my glasses,
I'll lay down in houses,
If things come alive.
I'll subtract pain by ounces,
Yeah, I will start painting houses,
If things come alive
I promise to commit no acts of violence,
Be it physical or otherwise,
If things come alive
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
I'll say it now
Oh, I'll say it now
Cuz I want it now
When personality is scarred tissue,
We travel South with disuse
I'm subtle like a lion's cage
Such a cautious display
Remember take hold of your time here
Give some meanings to the means
To your end.
Not even jail.
We marshal in the days of longing,
We tremble like anyone's children,
And wink towards the fire.
I'm erring on the side of caution,
Betraying no other symptom,
But girl, you shake it right.
I will bounce you on the lap of silence,
We will free up to the beats of science,
And girl, you shake it right
I'll say it now
Oh, but hold it still, darling, your hair so pretty
Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?
You make motion when you cry
You're making people's lives feel less private.
Don't take time away
You make motion when you cry
We all hold hands,
Can't we all hold hands,
When we make new plans?
I pretend like no one else
To try and control myself.
I'm subtle like a lion's cage.
Such a cautious display.
Remember take hold of your time here,
Give some meanings to the means
To your end
Not even jail
