Cowardice Lyrics

Feel the air on your tender skin

Charge with electrical fiery teeth burning in

A man and a dog walk somewhere

The dog thinking thoughts

you'd never suspect were there

It draws like paper thin confidence

across what's mine

It draws blood into your waiting cupped hands,

you drink like wine

I flew to Venus last night

With my hopes and dreams

She lives just next door

but the distance is greater than it seems

Got pulled back down to earth by gravity

Venus said, hey where you goin,

"Why are you leaving me?"

Cowardice is a friend of mine

I met through you

Cowardice is a lover's child

Wild and foreign and fleet of foot

And able to jump through a hoop or two

The man tells the dog in a stern voice

To go lie down

The dogs turns into a dragon

And swallows the man whole

The man acquiesces

Resides in the belly of the beast

Content to be fuel for the fire

And spoils of the feast

It tastes like poison or acid,

It eats one away

Corrodes the firmament

One hoped would stay

I flew to Saturn last night

With my hopes and dreams

He said, "hey man, what happened to Venus?"

I said, "she's smaller than she seems."

He said "tell me about it,

She used to wear these rings

But they kept slipping off her fingers,

She's got a way of slipping out of things.

Cowardice is a friend of mine

I met through you

Cowardice is a lover's child

Wild and foreign and fleet of foot

And able to jump through a hoop or two

Give me your apathy, I will swallow it

And if you quit on me No I will not agree

I hear a symphony I will follow it

Don't you lose time to me

Walk with me Walk with me

Look at the future me You can't know it

If you lie to me

Talk to me Talk to me

This is what I see And I will show it

I do not agree

No, I do not agree

Give me your apathy

No don't quit on me

I hear a symphony

Don't lose time to me

Look at the future me

Please don't lie to me

This is all I see

And no, I do not agree
