My mom told me to look both ways when I cross the street
Now my puppies pushing daisies underneath my feet
On the day of Halloween back when I was 6
I was careful and quiet, in the burbs and near the sticks
Today was different, but I didn’t know how
A day supposedly saved for the devil would ever be allowed
I knew how to be scared, and I’m sure I felt fear
Being acquaintances with Lucifer every time I looked in the mirror
I noticed I was whiter becoming the shade of a lamp
And I could tell that my eyes were progressively turning black
And so I left
My own reflection
I knew that I was morphing only in the wrong direction
Every ounce of good inside me was getting digested in my stomach
And when I ran onto my family I pretended I was dumbstruck
Never before had the thought of being the black sheep become so vivid
Now I knew I didn’t belong and it was something I had to live with
Bouncing a ball to the floor off a wall and back in my hand
Seemed to be the only thing left in the world that I could understand
Then a voice in my head reverberated like the voice of God
But this was an opposing force and it sounded quite odd
I couldn’t make out a langue but the message was unmasked
He said I was his servant and blood was what he had asked
My mind was spinning and my palms were to the ground
My memory erased and my soul was lost and found
I hungered for death knowing the honor that I bestowed
And so I pushed my puppy into the middle of the road
My mom told me to look both ways when I cross the street
Now my puppies pushing daisies underneath my feet
