Michael Collier_Shy Frog Collective - Huckleberry Lyrics

Something in your eyes, between the lines
Run round the house, fantasize
Fein friendship, living a lie
Sing like cohen, I'm no brother
I should be going
Paranoid that everybody know it
I'm dry as a bone
You're an oasis
Dying to be drenched in your water and praises
You're a mirage, I am a
Dry sandy pit
Only as deep as my appreciation
Is only as deep as my lust
Is only as deep as my envy
These words whip across my back and something in me says
Take it back
Love shines through you any time a stranger laugh and you smile
That don't ease the guilt
Wait for the trial to commence
Vacillate, equivocate, good at sitting on the fence
Off course, images flashing
Words in your eyes, real or imagined
Just projecting phantoms
Itch neither one of us should be scratching
I'm not tryna get my head bashed in
Injury would only be a fraction
Of the chaos if we explored those passions
No fishing tween' these lines
No net am I casting
You gonna sing about tingles in your toes when she talks?
Or rivers in your soul when she smiles and walks on by?
Oh my, take it back to Dothan driving the Nissan
Where is this going? cool it, freon
Man that poetry, publicly
The epitome of your audacity
And it demonstrated what I'm getting at, flash
Back, you're inebriated in the back of
Gables Square, pep talks in the mirror before you go out there
Want what you can't have, not your issue
It's just knowing that she wanna kiss you
Wanna be wanted, try to fill a void
Hole in the heart, thing you avoid
Lie to all them, but you can't lie to me
I was there at about a quarter past three
You were endlessly refreshing the screen
Hoping to be held, begging to be seen
If memory serves then I glean it seems those scenes were obscene
Cried cause your heart was good, boy's just misunderstood
But I know you were sick and toxic
Soul acidic, spirit caustic
I know you were tired you were so exhausted
Thinking of the good in you, had you already lost it?
Have you changed or is the game just evolving?
David wrote me, said he'd be there once before
So listen closely you may hear a secret chord
A secret place, a sacred space I'll take you there
I understand, and it is okay to be scared
I know you've wandered lost all through the mire and the fog
I will lead you to the Valley of the Shy Frogs
Watch me rise, set myself apart
Armed with a mind I will have heart
Never known confidence but I know courage
Question repeat, why shouldn't I flourish?
Why should I wither in the winter, why shouldn't I nourish
Roots of mine, pick fruit from the vine
I'm near it, in my spirit, there's a garden
Though the future I fear it
I will guard em', flowers in my head
Trim away thorns in my chest
Bearing a hidden family crest
Formed in deep reservoirs of strength
Dreams where they've lead
Get me outta bed, streams in my head
Herculean in nature
Throw me the rock, I'm open
Hoping that the odds are ever in my favor
Didn't pick the game, but I guess I'll be player
Something like an onion, got several layers
And yes there were times I held on barely
Some nights felt too long, too scary
TSK keep the mask, no Jim Carrey
But if you say I'm the one, since that pool ain't kill me
I'll be your Huckleberry
A cliffside by the sea
Waves of time ate away at me
Late at night search for relief
Can't find the door, ain't got the key
Soaked in my fear and my grief
I don't know if you get me
When I say I've held my life between my teeth
And we know death, and we know life
We've known wrong, and we've known right
And we know death, and we know life
We know day, and we've known night
And they remind us
There are two types of blindness
One who goes from dark to light
And one who goes from day to night
You could be more than this
I think you're marvelous
Ashamed of the way I've been
But that doesn't mean I have to stay this way
