My mind is spinnin’, hon
I got more thoughts than these grains, this sun
Is bleeding red, here in this wilderness
But you’ve got all these other trusts
In your confused heart’s allegiances
Not one belongs inside this hedge
And I’ll bind up every lust you’ve found
And I’ll strike a match, burn it down
Yeah, I’ll burn them to the ground
Better not to take a vow than make and not keep it
Do not awaken love before it pleases
Two things that show no mercy
Three that devour everything
Foxes, those thieves and suffocating weeds
But none can stand the fury of a Husband’s jealousy
They say that bitterness
It’ll be the death of fallen flesh, but I have seen
Ego do the very same thing
Even all your hidden thoughts
Every decision you think I’m not
Aware of, in all the tangles you’ve been caught
And I’ll string up every fox you’ve fed
Idolatrous dreams, that want to see you dead
Better not to take a vow than make and not keep it
Do not awaken love before it pleases
Two things that show no mercy
Three that devour everything
Foxes, those thieves and suffocating weeds
But none can stand the fury of a Husband’s jealousy
And I’m not here to lead You on
I’m just not ready to abandon
Everything You’ve entrusted to me
Even once I heard You speak
But sleep is where voices and dreams
Compete for love, oh, and clarity
I’m already all settled in
And how could You ask me to uproot again?
Better not to take a vow than make and not keep it
Do not awaken love before it pleases
Two things that show no mercy
Three that devour everything
Foxes, those thieves and suffocating weeds
But none can stand the fury of a Husband’s jealousy
All healthy things grow
Get pruned so you go
He has His day
He’ll have His way
So, give up what you cannot keep
Cling to what you cannot lose
Beloved, don’t be a fool
Beloved, don’t be a fool
