lyrics

Below the belt
The girlies tend to melt
‘Cause molten’s how they thrive
And I know how and why

I wait inside a hollow tree
The only one not hunting me

The only things I know are to rip and to dream
Oh, it’s so good to be me

Growin’ up learned a motto
That was posed as a threat
Took the rage out the grotto
Learned we ain’t risen yet

There’s a weapon stirring deep inside
But it don’t take forms he’ll easily find
A creatrix of the deep and fried
There’s much she won’t abide

I wait up top a maple tree
And coat myself in sap and leaves
The only things that grow are my hair and the heat
Oh, it’s so good just to seethe

Down the road there’s a river
Soakin’ centuries of sin
Mistake me not, I’m a giver
What I give’s thick ‘n’ thin

I wait inside that hollow tree
And feel my blood coarse, thick and sweet

The only friend’s a foe if he leads with a grievance
Oh, it’s so good to be free
