Fish in a Birdcage

Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage

This song was written and produced completely in my dorm with a $20 mic. Forgive me for the oddities it causes. 

Background:
And Eve was told not to eat the fruit, because "she would surely die." Instead, she learned information that she was not given before—she gained a power in that sense; she became the apocalypse.  What other powers are women "forbidden" from, all in the name of holiness? Maybe we should take a bite of that apple, feel some warmth from that lit match, explore ourselves, explore each other. They are baptizing the candles of tomorrow: they are snuffing flames. Why? They're scared of the heat we might just bring to the table. Mwah-ha-ha...

I digress... lyrics!!:
baptiser, baptise her, rose water, soft daughter
rectify and sanctify her, hold a moth and let it flutter
Don’t forget to floralize, don’t vocalize the smoke in eyes
Don’t don’t don’t strike.
catchin’ on that distant lie she’s gotta be divine
death-defier hanging on a burning tether line
then line breaks, spine aches, coiled snake, broken rope and Joanie chokes
they hope her perfume’s stronger than the soul

They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
They say temptation be a sin, don’t look any more behind it
That’s just how it is, don’t you dare fight it
They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
Life’s only meant to live, don’t fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive, yeah, that’s how he likes it

Wax-dripper, flame-kisser, lost-livered life giver
Crucify and waterlog the sinner mother, sinner daughter
She could take you by surprise   
Beware the July fire ides
She’s a locked and loaded inferno with underglow she cannot know so drown that power fore it overflows
Sorry man, it’s way to late, her choice is made, the apple’s ate, the candle starts to flicker in a wicked little divine state
Rising and rising, gently respiring

she can’t let the candle burn
She can’t let the candle burn
So they’ve gotta teach her so she knows how to learn
That she can’t let the candle burn

LYRICS:

Lost i am lost 
In a little place 
With the human race 
One of them, said to me. 
have you seen my wife, 
I'm looking for my life 

I'm Johan Blake, 
Always second place. 
second bloody place. 
Mr Bolt said to me 
'its time to get some moves 
you need a funky groove 

I am a man 
My mother told me so 
and now i've got to go
Got to find me a face 
Have you seen my wife 
I'm looking for my life

LYRICS: 
are you thinking
is she close
do you struggle with umbrellas
are you leaving
are you home
have you timed this badly
have we met before

are you staying
did you fall
can you count to ten in German
can you whisper
can you lie
did you design your own website
have we met before

are you sleeping
are you wise
what can you see from your window
are you hungry
are you calm
are you on a great adventure
have we met before

are you reading
did you choose
can you see into the future
are you listening
are you scared
will you know it when you see it
have we met before

LYRICS: 
Lets go to Sarajevo, play a bit of play dough, nothing gonna stop me now i'm going Yolo.  

I'm like a dynamo, give me my own show, i've found

Shall i go to the shops? Yolo

Shall i do it soon? Yolo 

Shall i kiss the girl? Yolo
Shall i give her a pearl? Yolo

Shall i climb the tree? Yolo
You probably get the picture now 

Buts Lets go to Sarajevo, play a bit of play dough, nothing gonna stop me

I'm like a dynamo, give me my own show, i've found 
of way of making difficult decisions. 

I fell asleep, Yolo was too much for me

Teddy Hyde - A Wistful Waltz

Wake up and look out the window
Half the yard is burning and
The other half is covered in snow

Is it Arbor Day?
Is it Boxing Day?
I’m sure today must be a
Minor holiday

Season’s grievings to us, one and all
Once we get the hang of it
We’ll forget to get upset

Bearing each unsettling new pall
So adaptable
We’re so adaptable

So adaptable
We’re so adaptable
As the world is ending
We can keep pretending

That none of this will matter in an hour
First we lose the polar bears
Now we lose the flowers

Not a summer’s day
Not a winter’s day
Not a summer’s day
Not a winter’s day
Shall I compare thee to
The Judgment Day?

Is it All Saints’ Day?
Is it All Souls’ Day?
Is it All Fools’ Day?
Is it All Saints’ Day?
Is It All Souls’ Day?
Is it All Fools’ Day?

Is it Arbor Day?
Is it Boxing Day?
I’m sure today must be a
Minor holiday

And the world is ending
And we keep pretending
That none of this will matter in an hour
