SCARLET NIGHT - BLACK COYOTE Lyrics

Sit alone in the dark
Holding my bleeding heart
Stole a rose so long ago
Was left out in the snow

He runs around picking flowers
In the garden for hours
She throws the seeds into the trees
But never throws any to me

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
As the sun sets, the moon will rise
The only friend I'll have through the night

No one to run with in the night
No one to laugh with in the light
All for one, one for all
Alone I stand and alone I fall

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
As the sun sets, the moon will rise
The only friend I'll have through the night

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
They can f*ck themselves for all I care
Anyplace, anywhere

Smiling pixies crafted from shallow dreams
Ripping at the seams of their sanity
Swimming in vanity, in the pool of profanity
Destination calamity
Craving the generic, lost the authentic
Grazing in a daze, the sheep follow the latest craze
Until the end of days
All in simulation, keeping us asleep
So we don't disturb the peace
Raised in cages so they can cut out the meat
Bitter flesh to make their sugar sweet
Tangled in my strings, O so many strings
As I fling my hands just to try to release
My tortured soul from becoming a black hole
Twisting, tricky, negativity grows

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
As the sun sets, the moon will rise
The only friend I'll have through the night

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
Got this far without you here
So you can go drink your tears

Never been, never was
Never will, dust to dust
I didn't just live it
I wrote the book
One who walks with wolves

Black Coyote
