[ti: Panacea For The Poison]
[length: 04:05]
[00:05.83]In my mind, I hold the passion
[00:07.61]Panacea for the poison
[00:09.47]My bruised and battered body
[00:10.82]Washes up upon the shore sin
[00:12.93]Fleas from leaking wounds
[00:14.43]Like rats from sinking ships
[00:16.08]As I float off to forever
[00:17.85]With these words upon my lips
[00:19.59]No, I never asked for nothing
[00:21.44]And that’s just what I got
[00:22.99]As my pride dies before I do
[00:24.67]As I fall, I’m also caught
[00:26.48]I wasted many days chasing
[00:28.28]Brightly gleaming streams
[00:29.80]As I fold into your presence
[00:31.63]Do I now know what it means?
[00:33.28]We could get old and talk
[00:34.66]At the same time when we tell stories
[00:36.76]If we let go
[00:37.81]Impossible names rhyme in elegant poetry
[00:40.34]But I dabbled in everything
[00:42.02]It inundates my small town
[00:43.87]I refuse the offers extended
[00:45.71]Waiting for God now
[00:47.15]I’ve never asked for nothing audible
[00:48.88]So when the walls fall down
[00:50.83]And spin like waterwheels
[00:51.99]I’ll pray for something logical
[00:53.55]So when we all drown
[00:54.96]I can cover bald spots with yarmulkes
[00:57.31]Drawn from extra-dimensional
[00:58.88]Sources like in comic books
[01:01.07]Choose your own adventure
[01:02.39]I’m obsessing like a drug fiend
[01:04.11]Fantasies of actors clandestinely
[01:05.90]Having sex in love scenes
[01:07.62]But why not amateurs
[01:08.99]Openly sharing joy in sex scenes?
[01:10.96]Stand clear while I soak in this
[01:12.82]Treasure trove of a wet dream
[01:14.53]I can’t tell what my problem is
[01:16.35]Or even if there is one
[01:18.10]Sail the celibacies
[01:19.42]Much sooner than commitment
[01:21.44]Escaping minor shake-ups
[01:23.00]But keep bracing for the big one
[01:24.84]To make the choices obvious
[01:26.42]And save us from decisions
[01:28.37]In my mind, I hold the passion
[01:29.71]Panacea for the poison
[01:31.43]My bruised and battered body
[01:33.12]Washes up upon the shore sin
[01:35.23]Fleas from leaking wounds
[01:36.61]Like rats from sinking ships
[01:38.34]As I float off to forever
[01:40.08]With these words upon my lips
[01:41.60]No, I never asked for nothing
[01:43.58]And that’s just what I got
[01:45.18]As my pride dies before I do
[01:46.85]As I fall, I’m also caught
[01:48.64]I wasted many days chasing
[01:50.59]Brightly gleaming streams
[01:52.04]As I fold into your presence
[01:53.71]Do I now know what it means?
[02:22.89]I juggled whimsy in a fire fight
[02:24.95]With the inner light of fire flies
[02:26.62]Watched dusk go indigo
[02:28.12]And blush into a silent night
[02:30.14]Birthed immaculate concepts
[02:31.58]From a pregnant pause
[02:33.24]In the august of my righteousness
[02:35.08]Just waiting for the fall
[02:36.84]The greater and the small
[02:38.35]All for one and one for all
[02:40.29]For all the S.O.S’ing
[02:41.79]We will rise to the call
[02:43.65]I’ve bitten the hand that feeds
[02:45.54]And found myself bleeding
[02:47.01]Hereby, I’ll only need
[02:48.63]What I need
[02:49.76]But need’ll get me out of my groove
[02:52.05]So I move to different tunes
[02:53.75]Sunning in the warm weather
[02:55.50]By the light of distant moons
[02:57.56]Thirst statement inundation
[02:59.20]Bring the monsoon
[03:00.89]Seasoned with the spectacle
[03:02.56]Of people finding tools
[03:04.08]Appetite has grown fools
[03:05.77]Empire has sown rules
[03:07.52]Let’s throw out the cravings
[03:09.22]And things with no use
[03:11.07]People dropping jewels
[03:12.76]Gems can’t shine like our light
[03:14.54]To err is human
[03:15.66]So the sky is our birthright
[03:18.01]In my mind, I hold the passion
[03:19.36]Panacea for the poison
[03:21.28]My bruised and battered body
[03:22.96]Washes up upon the shore sin
[03:24.95]Fleas from leaking wounds
[03:26.33]Like rats from sinking ships
[03:28.14]As I float off to forever
[03:29.80]With these words upon my lips
[03:31.58]No, I never asked for nothing
[03:33.54]And that’s just what I got
[03:34.99]As my pride dies before I do
[03:36.63]As I fall, I’m also caught
[03:38.48]I wasted many days chasing
[03:40.21]Brightly gleaming streams
[03:41.86]As I fold into your presence
[03:43.75]Do I now know what it means?
[03:45.26]In my mind, I hold the passion
[03:46.82]Panacea for the poison
[03:48.95]My bruised and battered body
[03:50.43]Washes up upon the shore sin
[03:52.42]Fleas from leaking wounds
[03:53.84]Like rats from sinking ships
[03:55.50]As I float off to forever
[03:57.20]With these words upon my lips
