After we spoke I had a dream that I broke The teeth from a mouth of a snake That I choked on the teeth They were mine all along
I picked up the pieces when I woke up Put them in a boat made of things that I don't want to see I blew on the sail Watched it drift out to sea The further it drifted the closer it came to me I can't explain
So I took it apart built a billion boxes There was only one key
You might think I'm your enemy But that don't make you mine And all I have now is empathy I wish that you'd stop trying Oh, please stop lying
Stop la la la la la la la La la la la la...
I put hatred in a box then I locked it The strongest one I made I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns And sat beneath the shade
You might think I'm your enemy But that don't make you mine And all I have now is empathy I wish that you'd stop trying Oh please stop lying Please stop la la la la la la La la la la la... La la la la la...
