Pollyanna Flower

[Intro]

(Through you I see I)

[Verse 1]

Between a broken nose and a fake smile

Between piety and gunpowder

Between fighting and fleeing the scene

Between murder and diplomacy

Between aggression and oblivion

Between brutal and realistically well-behaved

Between screaming and pulling in the reins

Between tiptoeing and ambling

[Pre-Chorus 1]

What am I to do with all this fire?

(I'd like to hit you but I would never hit you)

Would you stay with me in this red space?

(I'd like to slap you but I would never slap you)

[Chorus]

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between "fuck you" to your face and "it's alright"

Between war and denial

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between "fuck you" to your face and "it's alright"

Between war and denial

[Verse 2]

Between flying vases and secretly weeping

Between loose cannons and ever downplaying

Between bruises and rudely differing

Between bursting and boiling

[Pre-Chorus 2]

What am I to do with all this burning?

(I'd like to hurt you but I could never hurt you)

Do I overwhelm you in this place?

(I'd like to kill you but I could never kill you)

[Chorus]

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between "fuck you" to your face and "it's alright"

Between war and denial

Between violence and silently seething

Between my fist and my pollyanna flower

Between "fuck you" to your face and "it's alright"

Between war and denial

[Outro]

What am I to do with all this fire?

Can you understand me in this, please?
