The maw
A poet with no voice
Beware the maw!
Hold on, don't cry, you've got to be a man
You shall not fear, only weaklings do that
You can't be frail, cause others need me more
No chance, for you, because I can't afford
It is normal to feel afraid
When no one is by your side
But out there you'll have no aid
That's why your fear you need to hide
Just give me your hand and come with me
Are you surprised? That's how I feel
I'll teach you how you get it done
Swear to me now you'll tell no one
Beware the maw!
Beware the maw!
It shows up when you turn your back
And you will never hear its call
Straight on, be strong, you cannot miss the school
Not now, you can't go, learn to accept a no
No excuse, no rest, you've got to be the best
Or you'll regret, if you dare to fail a test
No one can see what's up with you
Or others make you pay the price
You don't want to give all of your cake
But can't avoid them getting a slice
Just kneel to the ground and I'll come to you
Hey, don't be scared, I am all good
I'll teach you now another prayer
So let's get your hair out of the way
Beware the maw!
Beware the maw!
It shows up right before your eyes
But you won't see it in its disguise
You had to leave me alone
Within your comfort zone
But how could I tell you
It is pretty comfortable too
Smile, and tell 'em you want to go
It says it's safe, it stakes its neck
While its hand is somewhere you don't know
Still you think it's just touching my back
You haven't seen the depth of my love
Cause we never got to the final act (yet)
It's now too late, let's get the lights off
It's time for both of us to go to bed
Beware the maw!
Beware the maw!
Managed to break inside
Because you were too blind
Beware the maw!
Beware the maw!
An act of love out of your sight
In the darkness it delights
Beware the maw!
Beware the maw!
His innocence is now long gone
And this
Cannot
Be undone
