Fable Lyrics

Alarmed by fascination
The darkness in me grows
A moment's hesitation
The dark a**umes control
Really, I don't know what matters
I only know two things
First it is a flower that flatters
Second is a scorpion stings

I'm givin' up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
Whether I am facing front or back
Waiting in line
Let me sling this fable

Have you seen the papers?
They're written from a bird's eye view
Unsafe beneath a surface of saviors
They can't see me or you
I'm givin' up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
Whether I am facing front or back
Waiting in line
Let me sling this fable
Well the future came today
The alarm bell sounds the stage
While these fools twiddle their thumbs
Something wicked this way comes

I'm givin' up on a wish in the well
Alright
I'm sick and tired of trying to tell
I'm givin' up on a wish in the well
I'm sick and tired
Whether I am facing front or back
Waiting in line
Let me sling this fable
