Tripping, stumbling through the unknown Hoping I can find my way home Where my wounded heart resides Wandering further and further From where I want and who I want to be Striving to protect the one I love, though I don’t reveal it Floating in the wayward wind I’ll get to where I want to be Eventually

Wayward Vagabond
Spewing forth the lies of man Dripping with deceit Sopping up the foolhardy gents In shadow do we meet Out the corner of my gaze He stalks the darkened halls Watching those who are lead astray And from the path do fall With courtship and loving words Oozing sticky sap Stench of rotting milk and curds Of fleshy skin and tight burlap Two eyes do pierce the thickened fog His body a black wiry frame As he offers you the deal To keep his lantern aflame And from the trees he'll feed Sipping souls straight from the shell Beware the beast who turned his back to heaven And shunned from the gates of Hell
