From "Forced to Breed in Captivity"
The ivys tongue
It chokes the trellis rung by rung
The sun is clawing at my eyes
Azaleas bloom
Their pink reflections haunt my room
The windows drum roll with the suffocating houseflies
I won't come out
Just leave me alone
I won't until
The summers gone
The summers gone
I won't calm down
My pain is my own
Just wake me when
The summers gone
The summers gone
It's so, it's so
So hard to make it through this
I know
Someday the days will get short again
We'll go, we'll go
And put our hooded jackets on
If this is a dream
Give me five more minutes
Oh please
The dog has strayed
A futile quest in search of shade
His panting tongue hung pale and parched
The tyrant sun
Subjugates the cities one by one
She herds us blindly in an
Endless desert death march
I won't come out
Just leave me alone
I won't until
The summers gone
The summers gone
I won't calm down
My pain is my own
Just wake me when
The summers gone
The summers gone
It's so, it's so
So hard to make it through this
I know
Someday the days will get short again
We'll go, we'll go
And put our hooded jackets on
If this is a dream
Give me five more minutes
Oh please
It's so, it's so
So hard to make it through this
I know
Someday the days will get short again
We'll go, we'll go
And put our hooded jackets on
If this is a dream
If this is a dream
