With hands clasped tight
You lead me out there
Into the lush green garden
With the sweet spring air
You walked ahead
As I followed suit
Catching the light off your eyes as I'm listening
To all the warm words you speak as I try to comprehend
Intently processing the metaphors you wave and bend
Down the stone steps
As the air is singing
Stay the same
But there he stands
In a suit of black
With the air splitting into
Fragment frames
With his back to us I cannot mistake
The overwhelming smell of death that now engulfs this place
As I look to you and you try to mask you're
Body's quakes
The trembling of your hand, Shakes my body to its core
And to the stale plagued air
That killed the spring before
As he shifts his weight and he starts to move
Obscured face of a crooked man
As he turns towards us
There's no way I can deny
That if I saw his face
Reality would subside
Frozen there as we slowly watch him rotate
Frame by frame
Frame by frame
Frame by frame
Frame by frame
Frame by frame
Infant fear swells my mind
As I cry please wake up
Infant fear swells my mind as I cry
I jolt up in my bed voltage running down my arms
I felt every vein constrict as I try to reform
My spine contorting back as I try to pry
My eyes open
And there I lay drenched in sweat
Trying to shake that
Obscured face of a crooked man
