Titus Andronicus
Give Me Grief
[Verse 1: Patrick Stickles]
What can grow under the snow?
I don't know, it's so unknown
She's the mean, the sunlight shown
Upon the globe so long ago
The embryo may not be frozen
Swollen belly tells me so
Though it's unspoken as we float
The whole boat knows the ocean's cold
[Refrain: Patrick Stickles]
The whole boat knows the ocean's cold
But thar she blows, so here we go
[Verse 2: Eric Harm]
I don't dream 'cause I don't sleep
I walk the streets and count the sheep
These dreams of freedom
Property, uneasy street, illusory
At best, at worst, it's lunacy
And I'm no fan of fantasy
But when I tried to beat the heat
The heat beat me repeatedly
[Refrain: Eric Harm]
The heat beat me repeatedly
The heat beat me repeatedly
And if we meet
You'll see through me immediately
Immediately, yes, evenly
Either they, yes, evenly
Even they
[Bridge: Eric Harm]
But if you close the open door
It won't be opened like before
But what's in store behind the door?
Pain and rainy days galore
Want to torture, to be sure
All of this but also more
A love in all its forms
Gloria de amor
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Patrick Stickles]
(Hey)
Honestly, I thought I'd need
Community to offer me
My share of solidarity
A caring family sympathy
Groceries for the whole week
I'm so completely through with beef
And I'd have friends to get me clean
So I need God to give me grief
[Refrain: Patrick Stickles]
The G-O-D to give me grief
The G-O-D to give me grief
It's needed for the recipe
So God, come on and give me grief
[Outro: Patrick Stickles]
Feel something immediately
Feel something immediately
Feel something unceasingly
We need to grieve on our own
