Flobots - Panacea For The Poison lyrics

rate me

In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison

My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore

Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships

As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips

No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got

As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code

I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams

As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means

We could get old

And talk at the same time when we tell stories

If we let go

Impossible names rhyme in elegant poetry

What I sample in everything

It inundates my small town

I refuse the offers extended waiting for God

Now I never asked for nothing audible

So when the walls fall down and spin like water wheels

I'll pray for something logical

So when we all drown

I can cover bald spots with yamakas

Drawn from extra dimensional sources

Like in comic books

Choose your own adventure

I'm obsessing like a drug fiend

Fantasies of actors clandestinely having sex in love scenes

But why not amateurs openly sharing joy in sex scenes

Stand clear while I soak in this treasure trove of a wet dream

I can't tell what my problem is

Or even if there is one

Sail the celibacies much sooner than commit one

Escaping minor shake-ups but keep bracing for the big one

To make the choices obvious and save us from decisions

In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison

My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore

Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships

As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips

No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got

As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code

I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams

As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means

I dreamt of whimsy

In a fire fight with the in-the-line-of-fire flies

Watch the dusk go indigo and blush into a silent night

Birth immaculate conscious from a pregnant pause

In the August of my righteousness just waiting for the fall

The greater and the small, all for one and one for all

For all the S.O.S and we will rise to the call

I've bitten the hand that feeds and found myself bleeding here by

I'll only need what I need

But need will get me out of my groove

So I move to different tunes

Sunning in the warm weather

By the light of distant moons

There's tape men in the nation bring the monsoon

Season with the spectacle of people finding tools

Aphrodite, grown fools, and buyers sown booze

Let's throw out the cravings and things with no use

People dropping jewels, gems can't shine like odd light

To air is human, so the sky is our birth right

In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison

My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore

Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships

As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips

No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got

As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code

I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams

As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means

In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison

My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore

Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships

As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips
