A tiny Midwestern boy The hay in his pocket at the corn maze Grown by the ways of pine trees and baseball practice With his only motivation that things will get worse
The wolf it runs it hides Jumping with teeth snarling Run run you cannot escape The wolf inside I can't escape it either Please run Before i feed On your body
As quickly as the first is whisked away The second was too far to begin with There has now been far too many to count I stopped after the first They seem the same after a while Like a stack of rocks on a log Nevertheless I stack them
We lay together amongst the earth Gazing at what seems unobtainable I am in awe The light that may not even be there Oh it is so hot I am grounded again By the star that sits next to me
I saw you staring Out of the corner of my eye Like a vulture at a carcass You sat next to me And kept staring at me You tried to speak But i did not hear (i did) I was a fool i will probably not get to see your hoop earrings again.
I watch you from your window Your angel How you move, how you breathe Sewn into my eyelids Why can't you see me Just look, only for a second But for now I am your shadow
