lyrics

How many jaws make a bite?
Things are so wrong that they almost feel right
The bruises are blooming tonight
It’s almost like springtime in the garden of fight

The glass was swept under the rug
The plans that we had made a thundering thud
The blanket was under the gun
Take cover beneath all the layers of love

How many laws make it wrong?
Things are so weak that I almost feel strong
The cuts are beginning to heal
But that doesn’t matter / The scars are so real

Sweep the evidence under the rug
The burden of proof made a thundering thud
The crime was committing the thug
But the laws that were broken were worth all the blood

How many jaws make a bite?
Things are so wrong that they almost feel right
The bruises are blooming tonight
It’s almost like springtime in the garden of fight

Things just dried up when they emptied the pool
But you let me dive in like an Olympian fool
I cut like knife / Didn’t make me no splash
The water was gone / An Olympian crash

The shouts were swept under the rug
The shadows released made a thundering thud
The whispers delivered the hug
All the secrets we told were all covered in mud

So Take cover beneath all the layers of love
Take cover beneath all the layers of love
