LYRICS *** Mystory Inside the Tree *** LYRICS ~ bird of paradise ~ slow down, heart starts beating too fast for her now she is alive inside a wrinkling shell she dwells on what she is no longer capable of but rest her, rest her assured this will all be fine it'll all work itself out in time but she has swallowed her share of pills for one long life memories come back whispers conjure angels i can hear your wheels turning all the way from where i stand put to rest and we bow our heads down put to rest my grandlady put to rest i will remember her the way she was put to rest my grandlady i'm sorry it took so long for me to get back to you the waiting was long but i found a way to get back to your arms, back to the arms of the light memories come back whispers conjure angels tomorrow is a promise we both kept in the morning i will make you breakfast curtain closes another door opens, i wait sinful as i ever was i will be forgiven so hold me hold me on your holy ground don't be ashamed hold me hold me this is the way it was meant to be i love you i'll be there waiting on the other side i love you i've been meaning to tell you for the longest time our last goodbye, you were taking flight bird of paradise, bird of paradise ~ gypsy blood ~ bloody bloody bloody nose dive into the shallow end to you and i know there are sharks in your ocean so i don't go there swimming after dark anymore we look at the same cloud you see you and me in elephant shoes i say i only wish i could say the same see i look up there and i see a tiny little dragon trying desperately not to breathe flame but i won't shed my gypsy blood when evil red lava flows off your tongue don't know why we stared as long as we did when all i wanted was someone with eyes like him and it won't go, cause i don't want it to go we were to do battle i had adorned myself accordingly every word was my soldier and they were all armed in my defenses even the fences i was straddling, but then i openned my mouth to speak, my army was gone you had something over me you had my heart bloody bloody bloody nose dive into the shallow end of you and i know there are snakes in your garden that's why i don't go there barefoot after dark anymore our lips aren't moving, our ship is sinking my ankles are anchors i'm digging for the pearl are you my oyster? ~ shoulder ~ slept not a wink all i could think was all that i did think the night before i lost my sh-t all over your floor i sink into your words, into quick sand i am in too quick to understand i tried to find my self-control long gone a long way on my strange stroll i'm counting every step this is paranoia at it's best said it won't be long before you go back again maybe i should go before you go dangling dangling your worm i am here on the floor don't know what it is i am reaching for anymore don't know which way i should turn don't know which question i should ask i am lying in my little brother's bed i am thinking i could find some comfort there somewhere i have my hand in the hole of his teddy bear i don't know what it is i am reaching for but i am reaching by the skin of my teeth i will make it through this leg of my journey cradle me closer i gotta go backwards now i believe i went too far unlacing naked faces bodies masked in stain glass cases they are throwing stones but i never came across a creature like you before the day that i met you like an accident waiting to happen i was into you from the start tucked you away in my suitcase for the trip that i never quite came back from so keep that in mind beauty in this world is as easy as you make it to find keep that in your mind at all times ~ skeleton key ~ are you there am i talking to a doll i pull the string and i let it go... the miracle wasn't that the blind could see but those with eyes see differently and the miracle wasn't that the deaf could hear but those with ears be listening and the miracle wasn't that the paralyzed would be on their feet again it was you there on the street doing whatever you can above and beyond i haven't found a way to dodge my impulses as they come i haven't found all the answers yet i'm caught between the wall and an eight ball second guessing my trust and i am reinventing my trust deja vu am i talking to myself conversatiation having occured before so i pull another feather from my side and i dip the tip into the ink of my life so i pull another feather from my side and i let the wind, let the wind decide which way i should go and i let it all go she looks up from the table to wake me lines up her shot and every morning after is some kind of morning after thought she says you've gotta learn fast in this palace cause there's treasure to be found so pass that skeleton key to me open is everthing when open is me pass that skeleton key to me ~ raisinwine ~ every day is white paper what will you make of it? and knowing that of this life who have you left to blame for it it's all what you create if you're tied and gagged who tied up and gagged you? tapped fingertip on crystal ball glass substance is always willing are you? you are constantly put to the test and i said just don't leave it on a bad note i misplaced our secret handshake and i can't fit more than my arm through your gate the rest is up to you shooting star, you are shooting a wink my way god but i always have to touch the paint before it dries and i'm here in my photographic mind doing time laughing sadness out i will turn these raisins into wine she is starving herself, moth drawn to a flame she is restless behind them bars meanwhile admired by all that passes her by meanwhile all is passing her by we are the hybernation someone cut that flower but it don't belong in a vase someone dry that man out, put him in his place the world turned another day around for us we all turned one day older today if we stopped moving dead in our tracks let the earth stop spinning she could finally relax you can finally relax now mother ~ flicker to fade ~ evolve and fade, born to grow you are you are taking shape, disappear to tranquility evolve and fade you are hanging from the floor and gravity is one sure thing around here can't figure out why you're standing there still isn't there any place that you'd rather be? but you're never gonna get off the ground till you get so high of your horse first death is a flicker to a candle that's never been lit and i imagine that when i die i'd fly so free from my body and my mind, only soul like lightning i am returning to the sky to sky------ maybe when i get there i could be the ocean for a while currently at peace------ no longer will your hands hurt no longer can they hurt anyone this is your soul hidden hunger and if we could find a little bit of peace maybe we could get the hell out of here but you ain't never gonna get off the ground till you get so high off your horse first Check out the artist's website: http://www.ariband.com/ Track List: 1.
