lyrics

Give me the truth like a hammer
Hit me upside the head

I need to know

Are you coming or going?

Is our garden dying or growing?
O what’s the use
In this decorative fruit?

Are you trying to break through the habit?
Don’t run away like some frightened rabbit

You’ll be caught by the snare
Tell me like it is honey
You tell it like it is
Don’t beat around the bush
Or sugarcoat the facts

This silence couldn’t grow any bigger
Are you willing to pull the trigger?
It’s cocked at my head

My heart sinks like an anvil
Our love is a door with no handle
Won’t you kick it down
Before we both drown

Are you searching
for a new sense of freedom

Or trying to set fire to our kingdom?
Please draw the bridge

and let me out

Tell me like it is honey
You tell it like it is
Don’t beat around the bush
Or sugarcoat the facts

Tell me like it is, honey

I want to hear it from the horses mouth
You tell it like it is

Don’t beat around the bush

Are you looking to break through the habit?
Here is my heart beating
reach out and grab it
Or flush it in the can
Because you can
