Can You Love a Landmine?

by Aristotle's Hope

/

about

A 10+ minute epic single that goes on a pretty twisty journey.

lyrics

Can You Love a Landmine?

Dance lightly where you're going
You don't wanna go off
Nor live in fear of paralysis

Cheap shots of horror movies
Pervade your psyche
Shades turn to dimmer matte in your iris

Like haikus too long
About pills too oblong
Will we obey this mad compass gone wrong

Can't straighten
Can't straighten
You

One velvet cheerleader
Turned un-yoga teacher
Only thing constant are the changes

Prison of loose security
Rife for detonation
Well-meaning wall to fend off hands to
Rearrange

Drown me inside
The role play suicide
Flood me in your torn open heart

And see what remains

Can't straighten
can't straighten
You

Round and round, oh merry go round
Lost, not found, can't really hang around
Gnashing sound of this merry go round
Spinning around till we wash up all drowned

Spin… around…

Like haikus too long
About those pills too strong
Sea sick vertigo of soul
Made you forget your whole
But you're not gone

Grab a sharp knife
Cut off my kite
Slash me inside your torn open heart

And see what falls through

Shut out my sights
Gut my insides
Still will not love those twisted mines
But I do, you

Will you?
