lyrics
Don’t fear the beast for being ugly
It’s pure with no pretty face to hide behind
Or trash art for being lovely
Why curse what never will exist inside
Inside
Don’t hang the thief for being hungry
You'd change with no money and hunger pangs, how-
Does fame make the rich so lonely?
They sulk with the luxury they are endowed
In doubt
I play no games
You string me out baby
Rescue me as I descend
Thorn in my side
Keep bleeding out anguish
Pullin’ straws with no short ends
Your silver bullet
Why blame a fire for burning something?
It acts on what nature dictates it dissolves
Then maim me for living freely
Without the problems that you soon would cause
The cause
I play no games
You string me out baby
Rescue me as I descend
Thorn in my side
Keep bleeding out anguish
Pullin’ straws with no short ends
Your silver bullet
It’s pure with no pretty face to hide behind
Or trash art for being lovely
Why curse what never will exist inside
Inside
Don’t hang the thief for being hungry
You'd change with no money and hunger pangs, how-
Does fame make the rich so lonely?
They sulk with the luxury they are endowed
In doubt
I play no games
You string me out baby
Rescue me as I descend
Thorn in my side
Keep bleeding out anguish
Pullin’ straws with no short ends
Your silver bullet
Why blame a fire for burning something?
It acts on what nature dictates it dissolves
Then maim me for living freely
Without the problems that you soon would cause
The cause
I play no games
You string me out baby
Rescue me as I descend
Thorn in my side
Keep bleeding out anguish
Pullin’ straws with no short ends
Your silver bullet

Teenage Octopus Ann Arbor, Michigan
After lead guitarist Bobby Lewis formed Teenage Octopus in 2009, the band wasted no time hitting the Ann Arbor music scene with their fresh, unique sound. Influenced by alternative-rock bands such as Radiohead, Wilco and Spoon as well as jam-band pioneers Phish, the four-piece from University of Michigan's goal is to intertwine smart melodies and explorative jams. ... more
