lyrics

To split the gristle - you cannot reach.
I'll be the thistle underneath your feet.
You play your green spring until the fall
I'll be blue heaven underneath it all.
You won't be lonely - don't think too much.
I'll keep you company, I'll offer you a crutch,
and when you're walking you'll walk for me
while I'm the thistle underneath your tender feet.

To find the fat truth you only crawl
while I'm the wise tooth in your rattling skull.
You play the viper, but miss the vein.
I'll be the boa, bring you close again.
You won't be silent - your voice will reach
distant climes from the west unto the east.
But what you're saying - I've said it all
while I'm the wise tooth in your hard and rattling skull.

I am the fair wind on your approach
and when the storm's in, I use the thunder's throat.
I am the smuggler that brings your grain
as I'm the burglar who lays you siege again.
I am the singer who sings you home.
With golden fingers, I turn you into stone.
I am the poet who pushes most
and so you know it I use the storm and the thunder's throat.
