sticks and stones only break our bones but your words set us on fire your cruelty only leaves us alone but what's left is our desire we thought our fire could be contained but all it does is smoke us out we thought our fire would keep us safe but all it does is burn the house down we stay in our basement hole cause we hear the foxes outside it's safer to stay around with the moles cause above we're terrified we'll keep a fire to keep up safe but sometimes it smokes us out we thought our fire could be contained but all it does is burn the house down oh father come and save us come swoop in oh father come and save us come swoop in oh father come and save us come swoop in

Predator Instinct nighttime is your time when your instincts comes alive you say that something must die for you to survive and i'll grow eyes on the sides of my head till your predator instinct is dead yes i love you in the dark yes i love you in the dark i love you in the dark and i love you because your teeth are sharp i stay here because part of me is you i'm horrified and tantalized by everything you do i'll hunt that part in me inside till every innocent part of me has died you should grow eyes on the sides of your head till my predator instinct is dead and you love me in the dark yes you love me in the dark yes you love me in the dark you love me because my teeth are sharp you saw your prey in me and i saw my prey in you there's nothing left of me there's nothing left of you we've grown eyes on the side of our head until the predator inside us dead yes i love you in the dark and you love me in the dark and I love you in the dark and you love me because my teeth are sharp

Fences in Your Mind i'm enraptured by a raptor he says i'm glorious but he thinks he's a captor i have invisible fences made of a million things and we've shown each other we both have enormous wings will you fly over the fences in your mind and will i let my defenses down this time cause you see me as i am i see your heart as sacred we've lain dormant under stone if nobody told us how we would have known that we're forces of nature you're a thunderbird i'm one of the angels you help my songs be heard will you fly over the fences in your mind and will i let my defenses down this time

about

This EP was released by Ashes in Orange Peels recordings in conjunction with the AIOP magazine "Together" and an art show called "Predator Instinct" by artist Suzanne Walsh. Joy Shannon wrote all the songs inspired by the meanings behind Suzanne's artwork which was comparing dysfunctions in human relationships to the predator and prey roles in the animal kingdom.
