Omar Rodríguez-López
Shave the Pride (Acoustic Version)
The pricks are grown;
Makes this place much colder
It gives us shivers
The way they shed snow
Trying to forget but we can't much longer
The sight of anger breaks small ginger hopes
Old sores permit your scars to scare me senseless
Makes my spine increase with sudden panic
These problems started in our adolescence
The size of your rage drowns my urge for loving
Take a step back, take one step back
Take a step back
And shave that pride off
Take a second, open your mind, take a step back
And stop this madness
Animal hair is burned beneath young Moses
It gives me nausea the way the roots grow slowly
I always touch it but it's making me meaner
The smell of it weakens all my unholy
You say you taste the frozen sorrow
Well we can feel your lack of información
I see the hunger, hate and love
It might not do us any good
It cannot do us any good
Small minds who feed
Suck three children to dirt
It gives us shivers
The way they shed blood
Trying to Forget
But we can't much longer
The sight of anger breaks small ginger hopes
