|
They've been circling |
|
They've been circling |
|
Since the day they were born |
|
It's disturbing |
|
How they're circling |
|
Fifty feet from the pond |
|
Pretty often |
|
Pretty often |
|
I don't want to be told |
|
It's a problem |
|
It's a problem |
|
It's a problem |
|
I know And |
|
I won't keep what |
|
I can't catch in my bare hands without a net |
|
It's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences |
|
They've been jerking |
|
They've been jerking |
|
In a pail by the dock |
|
I know that oxygen might |
|
Make them blossom and die |
|
But I'm not going to talk |
|
Feed them details |
|
Feed them emails |
|
They'll eventually grow |
|
But it's not working |
|
It's not working |
|
Not as far as |
|
I know And killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part |
|
And when the wizard gets to me |
|
I'm asking for a smaller heart |
|
And I got you |
|
I thought that |
|
I got you now |
|
I'll ruin it all |
|
Feeling helpless |
|
Acting selfish |
|
Being human and all |
|
And they're jumping |
|
And they're jumping |
|
But they'll never get out |
|
Just keep touring |
|
Just keep on ignoring |
|
Be a good little trout |
|
And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block |
|
He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise |
|
Wait, we'll trade you |
|
Wait Please just one more day |
|
And then we'll go with no complaining |
|
No complaining |
|
No complaining |
|
No complaining |
|
Stop Come |
|
And they're cutting |
|
And they're cutting |
|
And I think that |
|
I know And they're gutting |
|
And they're gutting |
|
And I think that |
|
I know And it's beating |
|
Look, it's beating |
|
And I don't want to know |
|
And it's beating |
|
Look, it's still beating |
|
God, I don't want to know |
|
And killing things is not so hard |
|
It's hurting that's the hardest part |
|
And when the wizard gets to me |
|
I'm asking for a smaller heart |
|
And if he tells me "no" |
|
I'll hold my breath until |
|
I hit the floor |
|
Eventually |
|
I'm know I'm doomed |
|
To get what |
|
I am asking for |
|
Now my heart is exactly the size |
|
Of a six-sided die cut in half |
|
Made of ruby red stained glass |
|
Can I knock you unconscious as long as |
|
I promise |
|
I'll love you and |
|
I'll make you laugh? |
