The Ways We Love (Get Stranger)

from Rubicon by Mad Rapture

/

lyrics

Oh god loved the birds
And he made them trees
Man loved the birds
And he built them cages

Ain't nothing to a cage
But the best intent
Tell that to the one
Sitting inside it

The thrill of the hunt
Surpassed the thrill of the catch
What we ensnare
We always want to throw back

Sweeter than honey
But stings like a bee
This doctor medicates
Unpredictably

The ways we love get stranger
The ways we love get stranger
The ways we love get stranger all the time

A very wise soul once said to me,
"The creatures you tame
You can never set free."

We're children playing at playground games
Without knowing the rules
Or how to take blame

Cut deeper with a word
Than a sharpened knife
Indifference makes the loneliest nights

Can't explain why we wound like we do
The closer the heart, the bluer the bruise

The ways we love get stranger
The ways we love get stranger
The ways we love get stranger all the time
