Spoons - Intellectual

For every scar, I've sung a song for you it's art, to me it's God

On rare occasions, two were one and I could see it in your eyes

My southern roots are rough and rugged reach for room and rattle truth

I run from nothing, trust nothing-- now have nothing left to lose

Watched everyone I knew grow fat or thin from using spoons

But you're using shaping tools to find your tools misshaping you

My heart's a tomb of tortured children chanting time will heal our wounds

So love it doesn't feel like love unless it comes from some abuse

Dude

Spent money, tears, and time

Days and nights, beer and boozе

Ayahuasca, psilocybin, DMT, and bags of shrooms

Just to find it's not the spoon that bends

Therе is no spoon you're bending (it's you)

Sometimes I wonder then

What moments sit inside of moments

What's meaningful or meaningless?

Spoons

Watched everyone I knew grow fat or thin from using spoons

But you're using shaping tools to find your tools misshaping you

Spoons Spoons

Was it a spoon that made you fat?

Or a spoon only a tool?

Was it a gun that killed those people ?

Or a man who chose to shoot?

Deep within every tool

Is the secret to it's use

And while I've abused a lot of tools

I often sit and ponder truth

"Why ban all of these guns, and not all of these spoons?"

From high cholesterol to heroin

You seem confused...

Hold up

Don't borrow a car or spoon or gun

There's intended use, let's keep it real

Cars are meant to drive

Spoons to eat, guns to kill

Marcus Morrison, Geraldine Talley, Hayward Patterson

Roberta True, Celestine Chaney, Ruth Whitfield...

You live on in our prayers daily

We're desensitizing

Lack of passion

A deadly lethal weapon

And you compare it to a

"spoon"
