about

Candlebox is about lies and lying.

lyrics

Don't you fall
to pieces
you've got to sublimate
you should roll over
like smoke floats
around the knife

and when you're sinking in past
the cattails and tall tales
to the wrist
I said you should just sink on in
yeah

so lets take it slow
I don't feel like dying
for the rest of our lives

it's a crying shame
the only thing we don't have
is the rest of our lives

the swarm is fine
but I don't wanna share my honey
with the rest of the hive

cuz it's a racket
and the only thing they don't have
is the rest of our lives

you can eat the apple
it was always compulsory
or you can hide it under
a bushel but there's always a fee
and when the monkey climbs
down from the idyllic tall trees
to the plains
you can hand it to him
he'll know what to do
yeah

so lets take it slow
I don't feel like dying
for the rest of our lives

it's a crying shame
the only thing we don't have
is the rest of our lives

I'll kidnap my id
and drive off the cliff
like we're Bonnie and Clyde

cuz it's a racket
and the only thing we don't have
is the rest of our lives
