Big Bad Wolf

Thereās one tale that begins
Deep, deep in the forest.
I came upon you so sudden
A girl in the midst of the woods
My eyes adjusted to color
I saw a red riding hood
Slowly creeping closer to you
But little did I see the hunter in you
Now little nightmare you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where beasts go to die
Iām the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars
Come let me feast upon all that is yours
I wondered how I would catch you
Should I play with my prey
I failed to notice the glint of your knife
And the smirk on your face far crueler than mine
Now suddenly I see
Why they call you a monster and not me
Now little nightmare you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where beasts go to die
Iām the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars
Come let me feast upon all that is yours
I took my chance
And came up beside you
I flashed a grin
Watched as your eyes grew
I tell you come closer
You abide my words
I open my maw
And fall to the dirt
You've come to take my skin
To wrap my teeth around your throat
Youāve come to make some coin
To fashion yourself a new coat
And I should have seen it all come close
But the forest hides the truth
And only it will know
Now little nightmare you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where Iāll go to die
Iām the bad wolf of fables yet your hunger roars more
Come feast upon all that is yours

Sacrifice

I have never seen a ghost so alive as you
Weāre smudged gray to waste away
But you're the last one dreaming
Of a brighter world
A liars worlds
One that canāt exist
But Iāll go to lengths
To make your end
The one that you have missed
And Iāll do it all
To be in your midst
Iāll be your torch Iāll burn up
To keep you from freezing
Iāll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing
You tread on soft grass while I
Brave the bite of glass
Youāre strong and you are bright
I fear you will not last
But here we are at the waterfall
And the only way is down
I tear apart anotherās dreams
To keep you from the ground
And Iāll do it all
But what does it bring
Iāll be your torch Iāll burn up
To keep you from freezing
Iāll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing
Now I have done all you asked
Yet you let go of my hand
Youāre moving on to a new home
Leaving me alone
Oh I feel emptied of a brighter light
The one that you stole
My breath was timed with your heart
In tempo with your soul
And I wonder would I do it all again
To be your torch and burn up
To keep you from freezing
To swallow down my own soul
And hide all the bleeding
Iāll take the fire and turn away
From the lies youāve been believing
And Iāll be better off as another ghost
Then turn into a demon

Ice Age
03:08

I walk as a child
Shrinking down
Below the trees
That enclose me inside
A world beginning to freeze
I walk as a child on the Antarctic snow
With the glaciers all wrinkled with cracks
The years have come and gone
Leaving the lush world behind
Soon the cold will creep in to take a bite
If I go much further Iāll have no legs to hold me
No arms to console me and no mind to control me
The snow wonāt melt and the beasts will hunt closely
But I find myself a place enfold me.
It says donāt you worry I will keep you close
Wrapped inside my arms I wonāt let go
Youāre a child still evolving from the sea you know
Watch the ice age come and suddenly go
The world I knew had boarders
The people I knew held greed
My mother natureās order is to
Wipe out all the weeds
And the fields are tundra
And all that stand are trees
I encroach on every one of them to shelter from the freeze
they say
Donāt you worry we will keep you close
Wrapped inside our arms we wonāt let go
Youāre a child still evolving from the sea you know
Watch the ice age come and suddenly go
When the snow wonāt melt
And the cold wonāt go
I will walk the whole forest,
Just to return home
Just to return home.
They say donāt you worry we will keep you close
Wrapped inside our arms we wonāt let go
Youāre a child still evolving from the sea you know
Watch the ice age come and suddenly go.
When the snow wonāt melt
And the cold wonāt go
I will walk the whole forest,
Just to return home

Champagne & Cigarettes

Start a war I donāt care for you anymore
Dig a graveāÆfor the love that you never gave
Oh the glass was shattered when I came in
Didnāt even need to tip you to the edge
Oh the rooms were vacant from the start
Yet Iām somehow the problem that feasted upon your heart
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that Iāll find a way to end
When you aim the gun I know that I have won
But youāre pathetic dear your mind has made a pact with fear
Oh the party was on fire before I joined
I had no time to call for aid
You just smiled and said the guests await
And I swore to sweep the ashes of your trace
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that Iāll find a way to end
Somehow I never escaped that grasp
Poured a drink and promised it was the last
And somehow the truth never came to be known
But when I fell I didnāt fall alone
A fight broke out in the parlor
Where we had champagne and cigarettes the night before
And just like a smoke you are a suffocating choke
A habit that Iāll find a way
Iāll find a way to end

The Cautionary Tale
03:47
|
|||

Beyond the town
Is a land
There lives a man
Who all know to fear
He walks in the shadows
And the warmth dies at his feet
And no one can sleepāÆ
When his hunt has begun.
I cannot go back to before
When his fist knocked on the door
And I knew I was doomed
I was pulled from my bed
The hair teared my head
And before I could think
We were gone in a blink
Never to be seen again
And thatās how I became
A tale to tell the dame
Donāt touch your hand
To the edge of the land
Where the devil lives
I spent some days
Counting away
To when the night rose
To banish the cold
And the man held to nightāÆ
There was something about the moon
The way it hung from the gloom
Just like the sun
The dark had its fun
And I became the stars
I cannot go back to before
My eyes are wise and openāÆ
And dance like the wind in the sky
I found a courage to know
I used new knowledge to grow
And from a few weeds
Sprang a new seed
My mind became a field
Now I have become
A tale to tell the son
Donāt follow the path
To the witchās wrath
Where none ever returnāÆ
Donāt you want to come with me
D-donāt you want come with me.
