lyrics

ACT II: SEASON OF THE GRASSHOPPER

Where we once huddled before, our placentas have been torn
For I am an animal
Our forbearance has run out just to bare us one more child
For I am an animal

But for years we were enamored, fetal morphine needle stings
Mended hearts with sticky semen fingers, bloodstained broken wings
And the wheres and whens and whys, they overshadowed whats and whose
What else could I do?

The detection of discourse is the reflection of remorse
For I am an animal
And now I'm drowning in this cell, the solitude that it repels
For I am an animal

All at once we turned mistaken, her lungs burning outside-in
We stood grieving and deceiving at her bloodshot stoic grin
And her eyes, they burned with sulfur bleeding plastic parcels through
What else could I do but write this song to sing?
And I construe it into such a simple thing

The season of the grasshopper comes
Siphon out your brother's tongue
For every mother's madcap lover finds the words most others ponder
Bleeding from the fingertips of all

Time is a strain on my third dimensional plane
Life has a way of becoming yesterday
