There is something pulling me into the deep unknown

To the wild though winter's coming and the autumn winds blow cold

The stars have said while smirking "this bed is not your home"

So out into the chaos and the crowds that I'm afraid of, I go

I hope I don't break down this time when I open the door

Another day as wary prey curled up on the floor

Hunters pacing 'round my burrow, sticking in their claws

But oh, I realize, when we laugh at their lies

We're alive, we have survived

So sing, and dance, and rip the shame from your eyes

Grip your mug and my hip tight, hair a mess and coffee spiked

And with those horns, that crooked crown

You look divine

Fellow creature, pinky swear

When they come we run like hell

Into the wilderness, I'll meet you there

I will sing the harmony

When you come to waltz with me

To melodies of all that you can't be

And when for a time our paths diverge

Bare your teeth and let me know it's you

And if I should not hear your hum behind the guitar and it's steel string strum

Dare me to bear witness to your truth

Now as I run I'm laughing 'cos the whole thing's quite absurd

It took so long for me to see what's growing from the dirt

Where we buried what we carried as we dance upon its grave

Like flowers sprung of earth and sun, here's our rightful place

Darling, I'm not here to fix you

Nor I do not want saving

I may fear the whole world

Growing migraines from the stress

But I do not fear the creatures in your heart

Then we reach the fields and past the hills we glimpse the sea

We'll stop for a snack break and a nap under an apple tree

The ones that hunt us may catch up, but not before the winter

So take a bite and taste the skin of sweet and sweaty sin

And as my eyes roll back I think I could die on those hills

With a peel stuck in my teeth

Be more, be less, fuck that, there's nothing wrong with us

Even when existing in the streets, central stations

Bars, buses, grocery stores

Becomes too much

Even as the snow snuffs out your torch, my love, don't change

The iron of stars, the blood of ancient gods runs through your mortal veins

And I have no desire to illuminate your deep dark parts

I'll gladly stumble sightless through your bleeding broken heart

And if one day you spot me in the chaos, in those crowds

Bare your teeth and let me know it's you

And if I should not hear your hum behind the guitar and it's steel string strum

Dare me to bear witness to your truth

Pull off that hood and show me your horns

Twisted, cracked and seared, a work of art

Hang up your coat, prune your ruffled feathers

Take your broken wings and wrap them round my heart

And I'll take off my beanie, show you my antlers

Lost and grown anew, a work of art

I'll rip up my shirt, show you my scars

Clawed by the creatures in my heart

There is something pulling you into the deep unknown

It's in the stars lest your marbles grew wings and flew into the sun

Something in your veins it roars "darling, you are so much more

than someone who is too afraid to step out the front door"

There is something pulling me into the deep unknown

To the wild though winter's coming and the autumn winds blow cold

The stars have said while smirking "go on, find it on your own"

So out into the chaos and the crowds that I'm afraid of, I go
