Aristotle's Hope - Can You Love a Landmine? Lyrics

Dance lightly where you're going
You don't wanna go off
Nor live in fear of paralysis
Cheap shots of horror movies
Pervade your psyche
Shades turn to dimmer matte in your iris
Like haikus too long
About pills too oblong
Will we obey this mad compass gone wrong
Can't straighten
Can't straighten
You
One velvet cheerleader
Turned un-yoga teacher
Only thing constant are the changes
Prison of loose security
Rife for detonation
Well-meaning wall to fend off hands to
Rearrange
Drown me inside
The role play suicide
Flood me in your torn open heart
And see what remains
Can't straighten
Can't straighten
You
Round and round, oh merry go round
Lost, not found, can't really hang around
Gnashing sound of this merry go round
Spinning around till we wash up all drowned
Spin around
Spin around
Round and round, oh merry go round
Lost, not found, can't really hang around
Gnashing sound of this merry go round
Spinning around till we wash up all drowned
Like haikus too long
About those pills too strong
Sea sick vertigo of soul
Made you forget your whole
But you're not gone
Grab a sharp knife
Cut off my kite
Slash me inside your torn open heart
And see what falls through
Shut out my sights
Gut my insides
Still will not love those twisted mines
But I do, you
Shut out my sights
Gut my insides
Still will not love those twisted mines
But I do, you
Will you?
