lyrics

THE SHEEP & THE PHOENIX
Written by Holly Lindin, copyright Aloe Records 2022

Pulling wool over your eyes . . . x3

Not willing to compromise
No interest in selling you lies
Gonna tell the truth until I die, die, die, die!
You say what I tell you, "So?"
Is something you already know
But if that's true, why are you standing aside, side, side, side?

CHORUS:
Please, don't complicate; reality, this ain't
You open up, and I hear, "Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!"
Please, don't procreate 'cause you will seal their fate
To become programmed little sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep

Not willing to be the same
And be your example of "sane"
Gonna fight for something 'til the water runs dry

(Do you believe that your masters will have
All the kindness to grant you your liberty?! . . . x2)

Take a risk, take a chance
Write a word, stage a dance
Throw all of your every stupid precaution into wild, sleepless air
Wind 'em up, take 'em down
Instigate no more doubt
Take back, my friends, what's ALWAYS BEEN YOURS
And their days of control: they will come to an end

CHORUS

Ashes, ashes
"Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!"
We're all falling down
"Bleat! Bleat! Bleat! Bleat!"

And from the ashes of despair
A crimson bird erupts and takes air
Shooting mushroom rainbows from the darkest high
Bringing hope of a new world
With a song in his throat and a willingness to care
It'll carry our messages well and won't define

I see you celebrate you
Sigh in hues of apple blues
Me too!

And from every dream you have shared
To all of the feathers and rings in your hair
Spanning life after life and never meeting up with yourself

Learning to fly, learning to fly
Without any wings on you to get by
Learning to fly, learning to fly
Learning to fly, learning to fly
When the danger and fear is closeby
Learning to fly, learning to fly
Watch the volcanoes cum
Watch the volcanoes cum

And from the ashes of despair
A crimson bird erupts and takes air
Spanning life after life and never meeting up with myself

And from every dream you have shed
To all of the feathers and rings in your hair
Spanning life after life and never meeting up with myself
