No Heads

help without
my love any more
you won't need the strength of the petals
that have been making this flower beautiful

A thousand different versions
me and you on the wall of years of then and now
so many buttons placed on these pants to keep them closed
but you don't seem to wear them

let the bell, guitar and drum make a beat with your hands
that your mouth is unable to swallow
let's fall to the floor
jump in the pool with out our heads

feel these flies
feel these flies
feel these flies

don't you wish we all could lie
