You
You've taken me to places I've never been before
You've shown me things that I have never seen
Now I know what happiness is
That sadness does not last
Hope is what you've given back to me

You taught me the meaning of love
What fear is, and why not to be afraid
What hate is, and why not to hate
That to be alone is not to be lonely
I looked for meaning and you were there

I asked you 'what is time'
I asked you 'who am I'
I asked you 'who are they'
You gave me the answers
'It is you, you are they, and they are you'

I wanted answers
You asked me 'well what is your question?'
Now I know the answer is in the question
The answer is in me
The answer is you
The Ginger Lady is no lady
And that I know too well
She'll call you to her gently first
But she'll take you straight to hell

Once she has you, there's no escape
You're in her vice like grip
You're walking on her tightrope blind
And it only takes one slip

To reveal the truth that lies beneath
Her seductive charms and allure
Unleashing a beast that'll chew you up
And destroy your life for sure

She starts off with a velvet kiss
A golden hue so warm
But if you go too far with her
You'll end up in a storm

Her face is soft and alluring first
Inviting you her way
But don't be fooled, she's not your friend
And she'll soon lead you astray

That gentle face you saw at first
Will slowly begin to reveal
That blasted demon that lies beneath
Intending your life to steal

You're surfing on a golden wave
You think you're in control
But the Ginger Lady has plans for you
She's going to eat you whole

— The End —
