BLACK & WHITE - Lawn Gnome
(from As Nasty As Gnomes Wanna Be)

I crumble upon learning
And stumble over yearning
For sensations never shown

I keep falling over looking
For the empty love I took in
I think I might've left it at your place

If I could get a handle on it
I could almost stumble on it
Make your candle slowly burn away

(chorus)
Said I'm seeking for
Absolution from a sinking smile
And a flickering flame
Inside my soul

Said I'm seeking for
Absolution from a sinking smile
And a flickering flame
Inside my soul

Now I clean up the cigarette butts
From a passion I smoked too much
Like I've said, the ashes fill my eyes

Maybe we made rhyme reason
The initial buzz was in season
Not a piece of the puzzle could've ever fit

So now it's basic geometry
I fell for you equilaterally
But all you ever gave me was scalene

(chorus)
Said I'm seeking for
Absolution from a sinking smile
And a flickering flame
Inside my soul

Said I'm seeking for
Absolution from a sinking smile
And a flickering flame
Inside my soul


(bridge)
Who were you
To fuck with my truth
You told me
Beautiful ain't sensible

So now I'm here
Staring sideways at a black & white

I am here
Staring sideways at a black & white
