After we spoke I had a dream that I broke

The teeth from a mouth of a snake

That I choked on the teeth

They were mine all along



I picked up the pieces when I woke

Put them in a boat made of things that I don't want to see

I blew on the sail

Watched it drift out to sea

The further it drifted the closer it came to me

I can't explain



So I took it apart in a billion boxes

There was only one thing

You might think I'm your enemy

But that don't make you mine

And all I have now is above thee

I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh, please stop lying

Stop la la la la la la la

La la la la la...

The hatred in the box then I locked

The strongest one I knew

I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns

Sat beneath the shade

You might think I'm your enemy

But that don't make you mine

And all I have now is above thee

I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh please stop lying

Please stop la la la la la la

La la la la la...

La la la la la...
