The Wren

[Sims]

I'm in your garden now

I picked them flowers out

I went too far right now

I meant we bottomed out

You dig for higher ground

You hit the fire now

No time for stopping, tore the wires out

[Dessa]

I've got this music in my head

I've got this hole in my chest

I've got this bird in my hands

That looks like it's been crushed to death

But it's a players game

Ante up and pick your token

Keep one beneath your tongue for when your best gets broken

I swallowed my tongue

I bided my time

Trying to get just this one thing right

By the book but the hook just sends I'm shook

God knows I'll always bite

Cause part of the fun is the road rash (yeah)

Feeling the gravel go past (yeah)

And I don't care what they say

There's no such thing as a clean break

[Sims' Hook]

You're too smart to say what you think

And I'm too real not to say what I feel

But when it starts to sink

I'll grab the wheel

I'll keep on steering for you

I'll keep on steering for you

[Sims]

Reap out the end if I could

She walked with vengeance, walks good

She wants my head up on wood

Lopping off the chopping block

Shoulda stopped

And watching red flags coming

The red things a running

Always heavy, heavy drops to the floor

Locking the door

And thats it

Don't let her in

No veteran

Hello though, the L-O-V-O

In bold lettering

Then I'm back in the red again

Latched to a skeleton

Old friend, relax and just settle in

Enjoy that, bad medicine

Push it to the limits

Good beginnings are the toughest ones to finish

[Dessa's Hook]

I found your pale faced blue lipped God

Beneath the kitchen table

Starving, and eating paper

He showed me what you wrote and what you'd asked

Love

Nothing can live on prayers like that

Love

[Dessa]

It's not vengeance and it's not bloodlust

Justice is just a rule of law

So hold down the magician

The beautiful assistant

Should get her turn with the saw

[Sims]

Percocet, gauze

She working them claws

Only purpose to draw more bad blood

Thats a sad war love

You know that though

You know those chains were self-imposed

Your words, my stinging molars

Sing it slow

I'll curse it while your world is sinking lower

[Dessa]

Rewind and watch it go backwards

From last lines to first words

The flash goes back in the camera

The flask back in the handbag

Don't ask

How after one phone call

He hit two lovebirds with only one stone wall

[Sims]

Valentine's day at the dead letter office

Looking for my girl like Yellow Ledbetter, 214

She said she left to find the meaning of life

Whatever that means

I wonder where she's sleeping tonight

[Dessa's Hook]

[Sims' Hook]

I'm in your garden now

I picked them flowers out

I went too far right now

I meant we bottomed out

You dig for higher ground

You hit the fire now

No time for stopping, tore the wires out

(Wires out)

I'm in over my head

Over my head

You dig me deep, deep, deep

You dig me deep, deep, deep (x2)
