lyrics

(LEON THEREMIN)

somethin' bout the mistletoe
stately wide and drownin' slowly
i can't help but feel so lonely
even though i'm done bein' sad

if i could only hear your voice
even in reverse
i never thought i could be so self-obsessed
i'm gettin' dressed for war again

(BWNW #1)

oh bastet
it seems i've slipped
on a mysterious point of view
i lower my guard and raise the stakes
to cover shadows in the mirror of you

when the piper's down
and the clouds are gone
another metaphor
lefts say i've been thinkin' too long

yearly it's the clocks that rhyme
but all i'm good at's wastin' time
the dweller speaks in rhythms
but i can't keep up or play the drums

weekly it's my lips that bleed
it's not a want it's a basic need
if all these metaphors and 1-2-3-4 melodies

planned a search and destroy on
december 12th
was just another day
i couldn't forgive myself

and the skeleton key
tryin' every door in the world
doesn't mean anything
it's just another metaphor
just another metaphor
