lyrics

A book burning evening
ash rising up, with nostalgia and stuff

a smell escapes
birthed between the pages

you better read it fast

you could miss your chance
at one last laugh

with a punchline written from sages
describing your aching

what's next?
can ya tell me?
I don't do well
with the suspense
could ya foreshadow
me a little glimpse
I wish this life
read like a user manual

It's a barrel filled with snakes
and they lay intertwined
how does anyone stand
to share their space all the time?
if you stare long enough
you'll notice a pattern
but don't hold your breath
cause it doesn't even matter

In a cave filled with cubs
do they sleep side by side?
passing the winter warmly
they don't mind idle time
if you stare long enough
a mother is to notice
she'll come out proudly
cause she knows where her home is

I'm a barrel filled with snakes
and I'm spilling from my sides
I long to want to share
my space and my time
if you stare long enough
you'll notice a pattern
but don't hold your breath
cause I don't even matter
