Sleepy Hollow: Songs

Another of Joe Dell's rather Tori Amos-ish piano singer songs. Unusually, though, not influenced by a failed interaction with a female!

.

Do you want to smash the mirror
That is in the way of success?
Can you see the crimson rash
That shows where you shouldn't have been?
Do you still have the deep-seated anger
Eating you from inside?
If you take a dagger to the source
Should it be considered cure or sin?

Should you cover up imperfection
And explain when fully exposed?
Is there enough dirt here on earth
To cover all the blood and the tears?
Were there enough fingers on your hand
To make you socially acceptable?
Maybe cutting off one of them
Was one of your biggest fears?

chorus:
Don't be self-conscious
Because there are others
In different areas
Of the same boat.

Appreciate your self now
Because very soon
The holes you put in
Will cause you to lose float

Should you have spoken your mind
Instead of biting on your tongue?
Can you truly be proud of what
You never have done?
Will success be a road of gold
Tainted with a little bit of scum?
If you're the last one at the party
Does it make you the lonely one?

chorus

Should there be a wall between you
And the closest one in your life?
Did your butterfly bleed through and die
When the cocoon was crushed?
Maybe you should lower the barrel
And listen to what I have just said.
Can you remember how this song started?
You'd better learn how it ends.
