[Verse 1]

I'll lay down my glasses

I'll lay down in houses

If things come alive

I'll subtract pain by ounces

Yeah, I will start painting houses

If things come alive

I promise to commit no acts of violence

Be it physical or otherwise

If things come alive

[Bridge]

I'll say it now

I'll say it now

I'll say it now

Oh, I'll say it now

'Cause I want it now

[Chorus]

When personality is scarred tissue

We travel South with disuses

I'm subtle like a lion's cage

Such a cautious display

Remember take hold of your time here

Give some meanings to the means

To your end

Not even jail

[Verse 2]

We marshal in the days of longing

We tremble like anyone's children

And wink towards the fire

I'm erring on the side of caution

Betraying no other symptom

But girl, you shake it right

I will bounce you on the lap of silence

We will free up to the beats of science

And girl, you shake it right

I'll say it now

[Bridge]

Oh, but hold it still, darling, your hair so pretty

Can't you feel the warmth of my sincerity?

You make motion when you cry

You're making people's lives feel less private

Don't take time away

You make motion when you cry

We all hold hands, can't we all hold hands

When we make new plans?

[Chorus]

I pretend like no one else

To try control myself

I'm subtle like a lion's cage

Such a cautious display

Remember take hold of your time here

Give some meanings to the means

To your end

Not even jail
