Not A Nightmare

4:20

#bones #flesh #apple #flowers

Sell your bones but keep your flesh
It's not a nightmare as long as
You have not fallen asleep
Grocery store, no apples left
Adam ate them all while you've been watching
Eve walking down the street

I father you a child
It's not a boy unless you taught him
Not to cry
Submarine, the air is thick
There is no wish more important
Than the wish to ascend

You sign the letter with 'Love and devotion'
But only devotion is left

Simple mind and pure soul
I'd like to watch you sing like this
And never to change
I bought a thousand toys
There was not one among them
That danced just like you

What's the point in melting ice
If it's not going to water
The flowers that I've brought
So sell your bones but keep your flesh
It's not a nightmare as long as you
Have not fallen asleep
