Album title: The Dreaming

Leave It Open


With my ego in my gut

My babbling mouth would wash it up

        (But now I've started learning how)

            I keep it shut

My door was never locked

Until one day a trigger come - cocking

        (But now I've started learning how)

            I keep it shut

Wide eyes would clean and dust

Things that decay, things that rust

        (But now I've started learning how)

            I keep them shut

            I keep them shut



CHORUS:

            Harm is in us,

            Harm in us, but power to arm

            Harm is in us,

            Harm in us, but power to arm



Narrow mind would persecute it,

Die a little to get to it

        (But now I've started learning how)

            I leave it open

I kept it in a cage

Watched it weeping, but I made it stay

        (But now I've started learning how)

            I leave it open

            I leave it open



CHORUS:

            Harm is in us,

            Harm in us, but power to arm

            Harm is in us,

            Harm in us, but power to arm

            Harm is in us

            Harm is in us

            Harm in you and me

            What you letting in?

            Tell me what you're letting in

            Say what we're gonna let in



We let the weirdness in.
