clown of thorns / by spider hacksaw / 2013 / ©
I’ve got a whole new vision of myself
’tis made of marigolds and fleshless wealth
would you like to see me wear my crown of thorn now
out on the town
we did the best we could
to bring the world to its knees
down on the ground
we shed blood for good
to bring the world to our needs
what I’m about to say is
what I meant to say was
I’m dying to give
I’m dying to love
what I’m about to say is
what I meant to say was
I’m dying to live
I’m dying to love
ain’t it a shame what we do to each other
friend, stranger, neighbor, lover
ain’t it a shame the way we hurt each other
friend, enemy, stranger, lover
put us to out rest
for what tomorrow brings
put us to our rest
til we become better beings
I’ve got a whole new version of myself
’tis made of cherry grins and flesh of elf
would you like to see me bring the clown of thorns down
out on the town
we prayed to the druid
to bring the world what it needs
out in the crowd
we preyed upon the druid
to bring the world what it needs
what I’m about to say is
what I meant to say was
I’m killing to give
I’m killing to love
what I’m about to say is
what I meant to say was
I’m killing to live
I’m killing to love
ain’t it a shame what we do to each other
friend, stranger, neighbor, lover
ain’t it a shame the way we hurt each other
friend, enemy, stranger, lover
what I meant to say was
what I meant to say was
what I meant to say was
I’m killing
I’m dying
I’m killing
I’m dying to love
