[Verse 1]
Try not to see red
Count back from ten, until I land
Take a deep breath
Leave your little lion's den
[Chorus]
No
I'm not going to throw stones
I'm not going to let go
Of my veiled violence
[Verse 2]
How could you tell?
Was it the bottled-up smell?
Does it really show?
The thing that scares me most
[Chorus]
I won't (Won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (Stones)
I'm not going to let go
Of my veiled violence
[Bridge]
My mission to recognize
Tons and tons of liquid lies
Takes me to the boiling point
Take in everything, overflowed
[Chorus]
But I won't (Won’t)
I'm not going to throw stones (Stones)
No, I'm not going to let go
And vent my violence
No (No)
I'm not going to throw stones (Stones)
I'm not going to explode
And vent my violence
[Outro]
Count back from 10 until you land

You don’t always have to be ‘on’, you are allowed to take time, to rest and come back feelin...
So I had written the song on guitar, and then I’d started fooling around with double bass and some percussion. I asked my drummer one day to come to my studio so I could try out some grooves I had in mind for some songs. And for this song, we actually used the recording of that night of trying some...

I honestly don’t really remember the beginning of writing and putting together this song. I think that I had been fooling around on guitar and ended up with this guitar picking chain of chords and a melody. I finished most of the lyrics and the melody, in a classic singer-songwriter way, with just g...
