Once upon a time a girl met a thief
She saw through his tricks, he opened her eyes
Their love was quite great but their time was quite brief
And once she was gone the world heard his cries

He hung his head low and his knees hit the floor
Another man came and offered to end the despair
The thief begged him "do it" and the thief was no more
The man simply laughed as his howls pierced the air

Muscles turned over as flesh turned to fur
Ears grew long and fangs sprout from jaws
The new body takes over while his mind starts to blur
Eyes glow like fire and blood drips from his claws

To break this curse a brave one you must be
For none can live, when the Beast is set free

She waits
Biding her time
Calm tides pulling her forward
She laps at the shore
Sings the soft song of the waves
He cannot see her swirling amongst the froth
She is nothing but danger to him
Crashing, swirling, angry
He will not approach her
She rolls back into the open water
Waiting once again

I will never tell you I love you
Unless I truly mean it
So why do some say the things
That they do not truly mean?

When you left my heart ached
My soul hollow
My other half gone
My best friend in a place I cannot reach

But not once did I feel
That temptation to do
What everyone expects me to do
Not once

I will not throw away
What is most precious to me
For just any man
Who tells me I'm pretty

I do not want any man
Because I chose you
And choosing you means
That I have to ache

But do not worry about me love
I ache for you
But I know when I see you
I will be whole once again

So never tell me
What it is you think I will do
Because it'll never happen
Ever

No matter how far apart we are
I will always love you
Truly

I come from the clear blue water
The false waves slapping the sides
Ever quiet stillness from underneath
Surrounded by sinking ships and colorful torpedoes
The shadows of dogs over my head
Screams of happiness
Ripples of entering children
Hollow pounding on shallow steps
Chest aches of longing
In my dangerously peaceful sanctuary
Just a moment longer
To feel the crisp clean summer air
The smell of the wind and grass
Then it comes, the beating of drums only I can hear
Quickened by burning desire
I reached the breaking point
And burst from the black
