Colic from (AU) by Thomas Erak & The Ouroboros

I tried to give it a name, I tried to figure it out,
But lately it’s your angle,
(and I just fall apart!)
We could’ve been a success,
instead of a last resort,
But lately it’s been your angle,
(or was it from the start?)

(Or I’ll cut my tongue... Right out)

*I need a moment to breathe, I need to get out of town,
She’d rather break me in half, (than simply settle down!)
I guess it’s what you don’t see, I think too much, out loud.
I don’t have words now to speak, (I swear this time I’ll watch my mouth...)

*(Or I’ll cut, my tongue, right out...)*
OR ILL MY TONGUE RIGHT OUT, MY OWN FUCKING MOUTH!)

Always, have it my way,
(let the dark days fall),
Sideways, spell out my name,can I sustain
(*can’t let it go.*)
(Ready to go, ready to give,
tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye!)
(Ready to fall, ready to fail, ready to kill,
I’m ready, to die!)

(Beyond the sideways, capsize, tidal waves, supernova highways,)
(*Not phased not phased, not phased.
Don’t phase me out.”*)
*Little piece of you, for a piece of me*,
(Gonna give it up, gotta spell it out)
*(L.O.V.E.)*

(Or I’ll cut my tongue, right out… right out…)

(Hush, little Baby, don't say a word,
Momma’s gonna buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat,
And if that billy goat gets cross,
Mama's gonna buy you a rocking horse.
And if that rocking horse turns over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and a cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest baby in town.)

“L.O.V.E.”
