Lyrics
do I seem a bit distracted? these bridges are burning, how many will safely cross? the queen?s run away with all of my weapons,
the weatherman?s predicting a hail storm
the guards are off duty, I?ve stolen the kingdom, the maidens and pedants question my motives & I myself am not so sure I?ve found a scapegoat, there?s a ringing in my ears & who has summoned me? there?s a river just beside me, I?m goaded, I jump in & 3 escape: the little angel, the little devil, and me
are these trees really speaking? is there sanctity behind me? will you force-feed me hunger? which of you can I trust? the weatherman?s predicting torrents of failed ideas
I?m running from the mermaids
the sky breathes inaudibly & each bough smacks me harder: harder than truth, harder than lies
the wolves are chasing me?smiles: sanguinolent
restless & eager I?m so close to home, there?s bread in the oven? I?ll tame them, we will be friends, I know
