about

My first February Album Writing Month co-write, written February 2015. Built on lyrics by Matt Blick and exploring a particularly toxic and controlling personality.

lyrics

Don't Get Too Close

I got words as cruel as snipers
Sharp as falcons slicing air
Waiting just to take you down
The very second you get near
Quiet like a minefield
Trespassers beware
Don't get too close

I got walls as wide as Jericho
Just you try to break em down
I can see you hoarse and footsore
Still you keep on marching round
Go ahead drag that old arc
and sound your trumpet scream out loud
March yourself into the ground
But don't get too close

I got a head as hard as hatred
So you'd have to drill a hole
For your random acts of kindness
To drip down into my soul
Give up you'll never wear me down, I refuse to lose control
It’s laughable, more than pitiful
Watching you trying to squeeze love from stone
For the heart of the deepest darkest glacier
Could never be this cold, so don't get too close
