From the recording Praying Mantis

Lyrics

You don't Look like you my friend
The one who showed me redemption
You don't look like yourself anymore
Skeletal mould on too strong

(Alan Watts sample)

'If you awaken from this illusion
and you understand that black implies white
Selt implies other
Life implies death
Or shall I say, "death implies life"
Feel yourself as a stranger in the world.'

You don't sound like my daughter
The one who random away to London
They say you go mad there
You don't sound like my sister
The one who shared my voice
Now you're frail and pitchy
No rejoice

(Alan Watts sample 2)

'Let's have a dream which isn't under control
Where something is going to happen to me
that I don't know what it's going to be
You would dig that and come out of that and say
'Wow, that was a close shave wasn't it?'
It's self-abandonment
And you're all that
Only you're pretending you're not.'

Don't wanna be a praying mantis
Don't wanna eat your heart and throw it away
please look me into my eyes
and beg me to stay

outro:

Hold this praying mantis
Read my words
I'm in my handwriting
I'll serenade you poetry
I'll take your heart
When you see my eyes
And fall apart.
