Fear of Green EP Teaser

_____________________________________
LYRICS:
As we both marched along
a serpent came and stole your tongue
The spell that he cast up,
it threw me to the sea

And as I swam back to shore,
just trying to make it home
to the arms that would hold me close,
I sank beneath the waves

Deep down there I met a man
he told me boy to understand:
"The fear of green is to comprehend,
you're nothing but a fish."

CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
You're nothing but a fish

So I swam away from him,
I was eager to practice this new discipline
of trying to breathe the air again
and walk among the earth

I tried hard and I did fight
But it's awful tough to lose your stripes
and jump into a clear blue sky
and grow a pair of wings

And now I swim all alone
I feel the current, it takes ahold
This freedom now it is my home
I am nothing but a fish

CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
I'm nothing but a fish

Fear of Green

_____________________________________
LYRICS:
Hey, poor little bluebird 
Gone away, flew right out the window. 
Guess I shoulda' locked the cage! 
Then everything would still be okay. 
Accept, I gotta move on 
That's not where you belong. 

Hey, poor little bluebird 
What's it like? Way up in the sky 
I'd imagine it's cold 
Being so rude and so bold 
To do as you please, 
You've got all you need 

Cheap, poor little man-child 
Baby I got you beat, 
with my rhythm and style 
You're outta line, up on your power pole 
Baby you're in denial, 
Hell that's your whole damned world

Bluebird

LYRICS:
Still got one heart, it's okay 
I'll make it through the day 
Up, down, left right, straight 
Let's clear this forest' maze 

- CHORUS - 
But baby I didn't keep you safe 
And now, someone has to pay! 
They have to to pay 

Hammered thru these fiery caves 
Murky depths where twins met blades 
Into shadows where the truth is safe 
All to keep you, safe! 

- CHORUS - 

To save you, I'd travel back in time 
I'd write a song to raise the sun 
Or maybe, just ride 
Upon a steed, until my feet 
Stand by your side 
(For all time!) 

- CHORUS - 

Up this tower, 
Climbed it so high! 
Maybe it's you girl, that 
Could save my life 

As this all comes 
Crumbling down! 
Let's seal our demons 
away for now. 

- INSTRUMENTAL OUTTRO -

For All Time

_____________________________________
LYRICS:
Just give me one last chance, 
to prove that I'm not just 
the coward you thought you always knew. 
You thought you always knew. 

And when you're looking up 
from the ground, 
life's not so bad 
life's not so bad (Life's not so bad) 

- CHORUS - 
I just need a friend, 
but if that's too much to ask, 
I guess we'll let it burn 
forget about the past 
it don't matter 
least of all too you 

I think you could use 
a taste of your own medicine, 
we've prepared the proper doses 
for the coma-tosis 
to change your mind 

- CHORUS - 

And when you're robbed blind, 
scratching at the walls, 
I'll be there to see you fall 
pick you back up once again. 
Once again! 

- CHORUS - x2 

- INSTRUMENTAL OUTTRO -
