I can't see you getting old Don't let hubby buy your soul You'll pour your tears in his lovin' cup then won't have a one to shed when he doesn't fill yours up And one of these days you'll get caught in a cage and you'll try to forget the moment I told you that this mistake will be your Face Your problems on your own My head is about to blow I'm melting down, I'm melting down. Memories of when you were innocent are oozing out of my pores I'm not saying you can't be his, but why can't I still be yours? How does it feel to get so good at using that middle finger on your big brother? I wanna know if your heart even twitches when I ask you How does it feel? How does it feel to fly so high the wind won't let you come down?

Two Yellows 04:21
Your eyes are fire Your look is barbed wire Your move is my spent fuel To drive away from me To forget all about How I'm not feeling free I'm East and you are West But our wheels are colliding Our dead souls are a beach That is no land or sea Two Yellows Two serpents twisting Their young minds insisting So I don't talk to you And you don't talk to me And we don't talk about How we're both feeling free I'm swimming in your poison That killed the sick in me You're trotting in my garden And killing only weeds Two Yellows

Sun comes up, walk out that door Morning Haze, one hit more Rooted tree, a lightning house Broken glass, a worn in couch Dance inside this Brighton glow Flip the switch, watch the show Turn me on, let time explode Our ears in tune, our minds exposed Spinning in a room unknown Flip the side, this is home We're living in this world alone But rest assured, we know that this place is home

Welcome back into my life, friend Let me hold your hand so I can feel if it's real Maybe I've just lost my mind, or Were you always made of steel? Did you strike some kind of deal? Your teeth don't shine the way they used to Your breath puts off a hint of voodoo My ear is resting on your sternum But all I hear are cogs a-turnin' And it feels like you are trying to say something but you can't As you "tame thy tongue" you speak in beeps that I can't understand My eyes have opened to the man I am They see your friendly faces as an ambush Now you've got me thinking, hours without blinking, Surely I am sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts Now my blood can't go on pumping Without him thumping on my door To trade my bleeding heart for an iron core But he told me if I'd just let him do it life would be so good As he claimed my tongue I spoke in beeps that can't be understood
