The Path

Walk along the path
If you stray there's no looking back
Take her back
Take the other by the hand, or you may
Make a break for it and run the other way
It's okay
You're really, really lost but it's okay
Maybe you'll stay among the trees or find something new
Is there someone there who's looking for you?
How did you lose your way?
The simplest path is the easiest one to ignore
Take heed of what they say!
Straight and true
Safety is easy
Your grandma is waiting for you
Take another breath
Take a breather, get a little rest
Lay in a
Field of flowers so immense that you get
Dizzy when you see you're not done yet
And every turn you take
Seems to lead you back by mistake
Misty Lake
Clouding up your mind until you can see
The size of his incisors
Bigger than me
When is it going to end?
I thought I saw something shiny
You'd better investigate
But not til you find a friend
And maybe he'll make for good company
Back at your
Grandma's house
Where are you going to now?
Now that you've thrown yourself willingly off of the path
Hanging your head in shame
Shame on you, making us worry!
Your grandma's still waiting for you

Not a dream, but a memory, memory
And it makes me sick
In my head, many enemies, enemies
But I catch on quick
Snicker-snack, I'll collect your teeth
Dollface ruin, have some tea
Trapped in a past that I can't forget
But you can't help me now
I've got to find my own way out
Teetering is my sanity, sanity
On the thinnest wire
Now this train's going off the rails, off the rails
And into the fire
And from the ashes I will rise
Hundreds of little butterflies
Needles and leeches and pills oh my
But they can't help me now
I've got to find my own way out
I spy a leash for a brand new pet
I will not be your marionette
Just when you think that it’s too late
I can devise my own escape
Wearing the skin of a soul who cares
I can detect what’s under there
Keep piling on all your thoughts and prayers
But they can't help me now
I've got to find my own way out
I've got to find my own way out
I've got to find my own way out
Who can I trust
Where is my home
What is the truth
What have I done
Who can I trust
Where is my home
What is the truth
What have I done
Who can I trust
Where is my home
What is the truth
What have I done
Who can I trust
Where is my home
What is the truth
What have I done

I reached up for the surface
I got dashed up on the rocks
And I felt something new was starting
But I didn't know quite what
I left a life behind me that was everything and nothing
So I braced myself against whatever nightmare might be coming
This newfound freedom's painful
It's like knives in every step
And I was scared of what just happened and what
Hadn't happened yet
Thank my lucky stars my friends were there
We washed up on the shore
Together, joking about the swimmers' ear
We won't get anymore
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
This world is so new and
I almost feel human
She's got legs
She's got legs
This world above the one beneath
Is bright and loud and full of people
Step one is to take one step
Despite my many doubts
I can do this
I can do this
Oh my god, what am I doing?
For the first time on my own I find
I'm breathing in and out
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
I knew I'd find you here
I hoped I'd find you
This world is so new and
I almost feel human
She's got legs
She's got legs
She's got legs
She's got legs
