Buried deep, buried deep Into the forest you will follow haunting notes drawing your near Come with me, come with me Your getting closer, can’t you taste it in the air? No need to fear Quickly now, feel it pound With every step you hurry forward into darkness all around Come on in, hasn’t been A very lively place too long Let’s play a game, ready? Begin! Cinnamon sticks and magic tricks go hand in hand like plague on a land Think of it like your drowning in a pool of syrup and you never can Dream again and let it fall away, your bitter sorrows are at bay Just drink it in they’re made from up above So good they’ll make you fall down
Sleep but remember sweets are best When they’re wrapped in dreams so deep you shouldn’t leave Pulled from eyes, you see this world for what it really is Try not to scream Don’t lose your head, your feet and hands Bounded tightly as scrape along the floor You’ve given in, give up and get back Giving us your word, let’s start
Flicker through the dark The double edges shine a light of doubt cut cleanly by a knife Love games to lose No not a single feeling goes un-soured by the hands of life And what I saw there Peeking beyond the blindfold was a sight sore eyes should never see Laughing lanterns light up Growing on but never knowing How their shadows shook me deep
Oh me oh my, what’s with this guy? Who let you rise before it was time? If this blindfold really doesn’t work, then maybe I’ll just make you blind! Hey come on, you really shouldn’t laugh But it’s so cute how you think that you can You’re still so lost, we’ll help you find your way so start Act II of our play
“Hey…can I have..?”
Are you afraid? No need to shake Like a mouse who’s trapped and trying hard to breathe Or would you like some nice warm milk to stop your beating heart from jumping free? Come join the fun, warm like the sun, welcome to our cozy home we fill with love All that we ask is in your grasp, so give us just a bit from your pocket Hey can we have what’s in your hand? C’mon hurry now! Are you really hurrying? No need to know don’t ask, don’t tell You’re playing by the rules we make so well Eat every sweet so you believe in our decency We call it trick and treat Now is the time to take what’s mine so hand it over here Hand it to me
