Little Violin

The keys are inside

You're locked from your mind

The autopilot's on and you are wondering why

Taking your time

Your mood is sublime

Ignorance is bliss and you are living the lie



Soft voices speak when no one's around

So gently singing dap-mm-ba-ah

You seem to have a knack for ballet

‘Cause you dance around the point until you blow it away



There'll be no cease-fire when the war is waging

Fight and you fight till you get your way

You drink and you drink till you reach the bottom

Just want to play your violin



You take what you can and you make your way

Another chance for another day

There must be a reason that you say

Your love's like a fairy tale



I point and I laugh

Like a civil man

The cynicism's baking in too small of a pan

Cleaner than dirt

Softer than silk

The loudest of opinions drinking all of the milk



Soft whispers floating gently your way

I hear them falling Bahp-mm Doo-ay

You seem to have a knack for ballet

‘Cause you dance around the point until you blow it away



You bite and you bite till you get to something

Push and you push till you make your way

Scratch and you scratch till the color comes through

Dig and you dig till the blood flows



You sing the same old song and don't get sick of its sound

You sweat out all the shit inside you don't want around

Inebriate the witness till he does what you say

Your smile's still cemented but you want it that way

Your mind is running dry because it’s never in use

You're fluid in a stream of potions poisoning truth

Your hands are tied above your head because of your crime

And inside we hear the explosion growing with every breath, its coming

Woah-----



You still know that you're moving on

You still think that you're moving on

You still say that you're moving on

But I think love is permanent
