Yes i bit the bait
But it was only
That it's beyond me
That larger beings would hide a hook
In tasty trickery
I heard there is a fine line
Between love and hate
On which we're pulled and yanked
And if this is the natural order of things
Why does it feel unnaturally mean?
You said that it seems
I'm a perpetual motion machine
But moon scoops and empties
Spring tides of energy
Can you help me learn
To release and honor a memory
Nothing i love is still
Or truly belongs to me
And if I saw my whole life in a reel
Would i feel the need
For repeat scenes like snippets of melody?
Yes you tamed the lion
Yes you tamed the lion
And though my claws and teeth are shining
I don't like violence
I like the sloshing stream
And humming bees in sunbeams
Yes you tamed the lion
Yes you tamed the lion
Without a cage or binding
With a mirror
I saw much clearer
Now i know
We're not each other's keepers
Not each other's betters
We're just sharers
In melody
