I look down the forgotten road

Looking for the things I know

I see something there

I see white teeth and fleshy gums

eyes staring into mine

It asks me if I want to know

how to know if I've been tricked

I come on down and it gives a smile

It sees me there and opens wide

I fall down and I fall inside

It's gaping maw closes around

I guess to know if I've been tricked

is by falling down to face the beast

It was watching me since noon

high above the emerald waves

It wanted me to fall

Sometimes it's hard to know what's wrong

I guess you just have to be strong

Not let the beast consume

For all you know he was in my room

I could be him and you don't know

It was waiting and you didn't know

Just don't run out of hope
