Tiger Tamer - Arms

Crouched on the landing

Muscles coiled and ready

To fight for understanding

With everyone I know

We’ve been walking sideways

Waiting for the cold days

Finding strength in numbers

On the ocean floor

Your daddy’s on fire

Your mommy’s a liar

We’re thinking with our brains

Living in our veins

Swimming in our skin

Grinning through our pain

Drawing fifty fine lines

You and me we hate time

We get bored, we bleed and we die

We never had control

Once the tigers have been tamed

They won’t remember their own names

They only use their claws in the days

They’re counting off in twos

They’re shaking in their shoes

They’re taking in the view

Everything to lose
