why am I here?

What did I come here for?!

I remember that I came here for something but I've forgotten 

What was it 

What was it! 

Somebody tell me

Oh please, oh please!


It seems that I've lost my way and

I don't know how it happened but

I think i went right instead of left or

Left in place of right and 

Kept in the same spot too long that

Sir, you there! which stop is this?


"Go that way not this way, take a second left past Zion and stop by my house. 

You'll see goblins by the sheep but pay them no mind they're only there to change the signs."


And then I saw an unseemly woman on the side of the road

She had a cane made of twigs that i have no idea how it held her weight but she told me to

"Follow the red thread"


I think she's just sick


Or how the twigs held each other I got scared

Of her I don't know why but her aroma was an IV drop upon my bare flesh


Yet you'd be surprised to know that she smelled like roses and wore a bright yellow dress. 

RUN


I'm confused the sir was lying the woman didn't know

Where are the signs? 

Where is the thread?!


It's so, so scary what am I walking on

WHAT AM I WALKING ON?


I can't see anything.


I wish that woman wasn't sick 

I wish that woman wasn't sick! 


I don't know how to describe to you

That it all just happened this morning but 

Reached me at age forty


When I'd forgotten what they said I stood repeating


Wait, I came here for something 

What did I come here for?

Oh no, no no
