Theory: snap break

Interpretation: a meditation on instincts, guided by a Zuni bear totem.

 

Come this way and try to insult me, thats how they do

But I cannot take the lies that are lived and use those things to stand for myself

Get back now before you touch me, or taste the wrath

I cannot stop what’s unknown to you from blowing itself apart in your face

Beware what’s behind the fence, no don’t let it out

When you start to tempt what’s down in its pit much deeper than you ought to go

Smelling of the blood-filled fresh meat crossing my path

And it’s begging for destruction soon, when I can’t see a reason to wait

Death gaze in the eyes of creator, feel the war drum pulse

Wish to flee the danger if your feet would leave the ground

Rattle of the shaking bones while your defenses fall

Found the wrong contender and your chances went out yesterday

Coiled, as cobra, steel inside, tight as stallion ready to ride

Cruel , as hornets, swarm the sky, black inferno blinding the doomed

For one time I excuse it, for a lifetime, I refuse it

Now feel what you walked into, nasty and sharp as spears, two snapping jaws of a bear trap

Crushing by instinct, I’ve got the attitude, well-bloodied jaws of the bear trap

Carving and slicing your gizzards and useless limbs, impaled on the teeth of a bear trap

I’m feeling better now, at least you shut up for once

 

Come this way and starting to melt me, that’s what you do

But I cannot take what’s not freely given until you free the fire in yourself

Turn away after you touch me, a bit overwhelmed

I cannot stop you from disappearing, wondering if you remember my face

All the interference between us someday shall end

You tempt the good deep down inside me and dare a fool to stand against that

It is not without a reason you crossed my path

Which widens for your footsteps now and leaves no more lost time to wait

Life gaze to the light of creation, feel the spirit breathe

Wish to stay in celebration after all we’ve had to grieve

Touch of bold enchanted hands while your defenses fall

Found the right conductor, dropped in time with everything

Wound up serpent, tense inside, tight as young mare ready to ride

Cruel denial hurts too long, red volcano floods of its flow

The first time I couldn’t resist, this time I insist

To feel what I walked into, hungry and drooling drops, gobble me up in a bear trap

Tossing it roundabout, you got the attitude, well-wrestled jaws of the bear trap

Clutching and rolling our bellies and winding limbs, stuck good and fast in a bear trap

Both feeling better now, tied in a knot and tired

 

Bait waits where I went stray, no one reads me the way, lost my map and drew a better one

Trapped with the honey alone, zapped by a zing in a zone, clamped into the sweetness that I chased

After a snack and a snooze, fly however you choose, make it real that’s how this deal is done

Tired of being used, get up get out get loose, paid so much and I hate to see a waste

Life gaze to the light of creation, feel the spirit breathe

Wish to stay in celebration after all we’ve had to grieve

Touch of bold enchanted hands while your defenses fall

Found the right conductor, dropped in time with everything
