Ant Hill Lyrics by PAINT

Set The Children Free: The Lost Demos 2011-2018

2018

[Verse 1]

A billion bodies breathing city air
Absorb it all, avoid the eyes
Each and every single pint-sized ant
Enclosed in its sandy hill
Buried down in the unconscious mind
Left behind or lost inside
Empty of every emotion
Unexposed, uncriticized

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Stand up where you've knelt
Find it in yourself
Ring on out the pain 'til it trickles through your fingers like the sand of an ant hill

[Verse 2]

...and you'll see we're not so bad -- we are alright
A collection of connected beings
Devoid of dividing lines
Deconstructеd, demythologized
Deeper than a thought of thoughts
Things wе often think to think about
When will wish we would be understood?

[Chorus]

Love is not a thing that we can see
Love is not an inner state of being
Love is not the only thing we need
And the way it is ain't the way it's gotta be

[Verse 3]

If you find that you depend on "love,"
Then love it not what you feel
It's so much more than just a three-world phrase
Or third-world serenade

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Stand up where you've knelt
Find it in yourself
Pass it all around, though you insist there's no more left
Undo the theft

[Chorus]

Love is not a thing that we can see
Love is not an inner state of being
Love is not the only thing we need
And the way it is ain't the way it's gotta be
