All my life they let me know
How far I would not go
But inside the beast still grows
Waiting, chewing through the ropes
Who are you to change this world?
Silly boy
No one needs to hear your words
Let it go
Carnivore, carnivore
Won't you come digest me?
Take away everything I am
Bring it to an end


I look down the forgotten road

Looking for the things I know

 

I see something there

I see white teeth and fleshy gums

eyes staring into mine

 

It asks me if I want to know

how to know if I've been tricked

I come on down and it gives a smile

 

It sees me there and opens wide

I fall down and I fall inside

It's gaping maw closes around

 

I guess to know if I've been tricked

is by falling down to face the beast

 

It was watching me since noon

high above the emerald waves

It wanted me to fall

 

Sometimes it's hard to know what's wrong

I guess you just have to be strong

 

Not let the beast consume

For all you know he was in my room

I could be him and you don't know

 

It was waiting and you didn't know

Just don't run out of hope

I don't really know what that was. My fingers had a mind of their own.
