PAST THE FENCE
[Intro] [Acoustic guitar pluck, light dub delay, spiritual atmosphere] (Whisper): Aphrodite... she is responding to me. [Verse 1] [Relaxed rhythmic chanting, soulful voice] You pray to the creator, I’ll pray to Aphrodite. Every time I talk to her, it feels like she is responding to me. How many dream catchers do I have? Have they caught all my dreams? Out of 1000 good thoughts you’ll write down one, cuz that’s the only one you stopped to think. On Sep 11 you notice the day, at 1:11, you stop to pray. At that same time you’ll figure out, that we are plural in Jesus name. We were sacrificed in grade 9, in history class I remain. I remember the announcement given over the PA. A game of cat and chipmunk has set off a switch in our brains, where we don’t have the space to write anymore, every dream has gone down the sink. [Chorus] [Heavier bass drop, rhythmic and steady] That’s why I don’t call people, because I take it past the fence. I won’t do you a favour that you haven’t earned yet. Because it makes me stub my toe every time that I have spent. On doing what I’m told, not how I feel instead. [Verse 2] [Deep conscious delivery] Pouring out the pockets of the poverty-less couldn’t make up for that much time. Protect me from myself besides the devil I’m also Jesus. When you start playing tricks on yourself you know it’s time to wear the cross, because God doesn’t want to fool you he loves every single child. In history class the clock is stuck, but the soul is out of range, The cat is chasing shadows while the chipmunk feels the change. If every dream is in the sink, I’ll find them in the deep, I’ll keep the promises to myself that I intended to keep. [Chorus] That’s why I don’t call people, because I take it past the fence. I won’t do you a favour that you haven’t earned yet. Because it makes me stub my toe every time that I have spent. On doing what I’m told, not how I feel instead. [Bridge] [Mellow breakdown, only bass and percussion] Aphrodite whispers truth while the world is playing loud, I’m the only one who’s plural in this lonely, hollow crowd. God doesn’t need your acting, He just wants to see the heart, So I’m taking all my pieces back and making a new start. [Outro] [Fading dub echo] When you start playing tricks on yourself you know it’s time to wear the cross... Past the fence... (Whisper): Past the fence. Doing what I feel instead. [End]
