I want to lay in the grass
Hope the ants think of me, here right now and not the past
Watch them march out to the sea
And if you come alooking for me check the confines of their bellies
Thought you knew better than this
To let the words fall from your lips and into my lap
And I know you meant it but maybe you’d do better getting back to me after a nap
I want to live in the stars
Watch you all under me tear each other apart
Sleepy and starting to fade I’ll hear your words but not today
Time to heal because I’m years away
Thought you knew better than this
To let them all tear us to bits and push me away
And I know you meant it but maybe you’d do better getting back to me after a day
The time to forget is now hide my gifts hide my thoughts hide your thoughts hide your smile
Feed me to the lions and disappear
They will soon devour me but with you gone I don’t care
Thought you knew better than this
To say what you said louder than a whisper gently falls
And I know you meant it but maybe you’d do better trying not to stand before you crawl
And I know you meant it but maybe you’d do better never getting back to me at all.
