I cultivated strength in baritone
To scare off anyone around my home
And I chose this life to be alone.
Alone
I’ll choose to live forever more.
I shun those showing love til no one calls,
Unfeathered and unshrouded I am small.
I made a secret home from leaves, and all
I ever wanted was to leave them all.
I watch the humans lit in silhouette -
The electronic lights and warming beds -
And I will one day go from here
And they will never know that I was there.
I’m independent
Solitary
Free

In one ear and out
The other one
Are you listening?
If you ever doubt
My ever-love
Or my agenda
I won’t ask you to trust me
‘Cause no-one trustworthy says
Trust me
But if you change your mind
I will be
I will be here
And no, never mind
All the things we disagree
If you change your mind
I will be here
Constant troubleshoots
At 1am
Of disagreements
Then hysterical
Til 6am
We laugh until it hurts
I won’t ask you to trust me
‘Cause no-one trustworthy says
Trust me
But if you change your mind
I will be
I will be here
And no, never mind
All the things we disagree
If you change your mind
I will be here
If you ever doubt
My ever-love
Or my agenda
If you ever doubt
That you are loved
Even though it hurts
I would hope that you’d call me

Who are you?
Can I know your name before you destroy me?
Before you destroy me.
And what’s the use?
Could I fly away before you destroy me?
Before you destroy us all.
Put it down, put it down before you hurt yourself.
Put it down, put it down before you hurt yourself.
Inhospitable
Unwelcoming
A savage, selfish killer
Hypocrit
Anthropocentric
Keep the beautiful to look at.

Contemptible Shrew what have they done to you?
Contemptible Shrew I used to know you.
I am your soul, am your mind and your brain
But not your mouth or your eyes
What can you do when heroes tow the line?
What can you do when you are trying to
Forget the things that really turn you off?
Contemptible Shrew I miss you I really do
We were combined, intertwined through thick and thin
Why won’t you let me back in?
What can you do when heroes tow the line
What can you do when you are trying to
Escape the things that really hurt you most?
I never knew that I was lilac blue
And even though I’ve felt so very yellow
I have to say the green grows heavy on me
And I can’t escape
I can’t forget
I can’t escape.
Contemptible Shrew - I love you - I really do
But I don’t always like you
I don’t always understand.
