March Of The Caterpillar

if I said I care, would you say you believe me?
been hatching a plan for deceiving
he lies to the kid that he sees in the mirror
there's an infinite light on the broad horizon
look to your love when you can't find hope
once we have lost, we are free to rise again

say you're winning the battle if you cut half the dosage
most of the day with excuses
well, nothing worth doing has ever been easy, oh no
he used to look the other way and say it was love
but she was just someone to waste your life with

you know that he's a junkie if you look him in the eyes
he says, "daddy was a good man, daddy was a good man too"
ah, the self-glorification, you take it in stride
you keep pumping that shit you're gonna make yourself sick

ego scarification, dirty treasure to the hollowed-out cave

listening to lover man, living room, low
with the sun up in the belly, makes you ten feet tall
dreaming in the valley with a minotaur maid
kiss her where she giggle till she drawing up that shade
yeah there's a slip and slide foundation, i'll be there with the minister stage

you know I never lie to you, that's for certain
so do us a favor and don't you ask
there's more than one way to keep your picture clean
without opening your mouth, you can say what you don't mean
you never give yourself then you never get hurt
i'll follow you anywhere, baby, but you gotta jump first...
