Scattered like a million stars
These pieces grow roots
Dig further into the recess
Of all that will ever be
And by time’s grace you’ll know
I’m not a hero or your enemy

What if the truth
Of your fictions could see
Boogeymen lined like an infantry
I’ve known hell since infancy
So grab my hand as we cross
To the end of the story
Curbing your fantasy
Enthusiastic with your condescension
I reserve the rights to

Tell the truth from the fiction
In all the ways that I could,
Manifest a manifesto,
Spread you thin til the feast is famished
Look how the monsters vanish
When wolves come a huntin’
I’m a howling at the moon
Comin’ now baby come in
And witness the turn about face.

Here you thought I would be a shield
But the ramparts are topplin’,
Walls give way and the drawbridge is open
They’re storming the castle
Lest you spin in your towers
Better use the smoke of your hearth
Call out an SOS, because I won’t be savin’

No I won’t be saving you,
Not when it’s all laid to rest
As the smoke clears the rubble
And the fog releases to make way for clarity
You will see I’m no hero or the enemy,
I play the part you need in your make believe
So make believe and carry it on
I am carrion or Heracles in your songs

Scatter my image,
In a million pieces
Taking root in the frame
Will I save or pillage?

The truth of the fiction is
If you had a mirror,
You could see monsters
Staring back at you,
Confession be ******,
Hells in front of you,
And in this I know,
When staring into the fires
I’ll catch you with a Birds Eye view

Forever this
Forever more,
I’m just a nobody baby,
Creating the parasols
In tell all capsules
Weathering the storm
Humming along
To the beat of my drum.

Da-dum-dum-da-dumdadum-dum-dum-da-dum-dum
On and on and on and on

As time slows for the guilty
I carry on into the flood,
Until your reveries of mysteries are but memory
In the end of your days, you will remember me.

On and on and on
Dum-dum-da-dumdadum-dum-dum
