lyrics

She sat me down
The smell of thoughts arose
With your brains exposed you're so much easier to read
While I predict the future you just guess you'll last
Let me warn you about your past
Cause it is coming to get you

My boy
My pretty naive boy
Tell me what will you say
When they try to harm you?

There will be lights
Playing shadows on the wall
Some will be fifty feet tall
All will be begging for answers
And if you stay fast to silence
They'll just persevere
And they'll use the jaws of life
Honey, they will strike you hard

Oh my boy
My pretty naive boy
Oh my baby boy
You will be destroyed

Here they come
Lights won’t find the truth
You're no super sleuth
You have no idea

Here they come light's will find the truth
You're no super sleuth
You have no idea
That you're a gift
Living cornered by your fear

But you need to say
You need to try
You need to prove
For once in your life
That you'll know what to say
When they try to harm you
When they try to harm you
When they try to harm you
