dont trample my petals

learn again to love with me
oh please
lie back in the old high house
with wary witches peeking
get wise with me and open up
chanting mantras while we wait
until the charmed reverse their way
im not lost , not god on this walk
but i know brand new thing or two
and doors dont stop a will so strong
when magick drips into the mind
well find fortunes no one can steal
if not the mystery of the moon
we would have never dreamed to drift
now we know so many things
we know so little now we know

back bloodcurdling home
for the waning world of wealth
the people wouldnt wake you
deeply troubled world behind
has such a beautiful underside
if you turn back to dull the pins
theyre gonna take you for a ride
remember how to run away
some people never learn
oh please
dont lose hope too soon
these footsteps not yet marked
only lightning lights the line
this way was the only without
wading knee-deep in blood
we chose the psychedelic rites
to learn the world for what it is

i wish your spark had caught a flame
i wish you heard
i hear strange music
but behind i hear the gears
shaky chances taken
left a jaded mark on you
but every wildered round
unwinds a little ego more
left for better on the  floor
life is at a heavy cost
each strange trip i earned
took ego off the weight
mistakes ? i know ive made
i roam to grow away from them
do different things
than what weve done
heaven in my bending mind
ive wished i could take you
would you pursue a hallow dream ?
does pavlovs power make it true ?

with all heightened perceptions
i never snuck suspicion in
but you leave me all the wiser
so reverse your route without me
go back to mapped land and get ahead
but dont revise our rally cry
if you cram that cool head
with their policy web
long after me
and my peaceful dreams
you will be left alive to look
but you will never see again
your will is lost to your command
retrace to the source of the gore
washed away by man-made flood
where bloody money buys a dry pad
but please
dont trample my petals
