Don't Look Away

I fear I've been forsaken

I am torn awake by cries heard in my garden

As the weeks slip away this is becoming all too common

I ask my children "What do you need?

Do you need my affection?"

"No father, we simply must feed."

As my father is, I am tortured by their cries

Yet I'm no pacifist, I won't let my family wither up and die

Sharpen my teeth on my silver tongue

Destroy the old and eat the young

You'll die alone

You'll die alone in the labyrinthe

Well, not quite alone, if you catch my drift

You'll die alone

Well as the petals are fallin'

Oh baby, I can hear ya callin'

Oh you are just a little small rat

Trapped in this maze

You look so afraid, something sounds strange

It came from that way, don't look away

Don't look away

Just look at me

Don't look away
