I didn’t know what you were, I didn’t recognize
‘Cause I thought I saw kindness
Behind your eyes
But it was only a clever and cunning disguise
Till the flash of your teeth in the dark
Even then I thought that I was
The one to blame
I was bitter and angry and full of shame
Till I saw with my own eyes
The wolf you became
How could I not have known from the start?
You are made of hunger and appetite
You prey on the ones that believe your lies
You betray and you charm
And you mesmerize
Your voice was like silk
But your words like knives
And when you cut me open
I was somehow surprised
So much blood was on your hands
And all of it mine
Still you told me that it was my fault
You are made of hunger and appetite
You prey on the fools that believe your lies
Masquerade as a friend
While you whet the knife
Everyone thinks that you’re golden
Everyone thinks that you’re golden
But I know, and I’ve seen
And you laugh and say
“Who do you think they’ll believe?”
All the shepherds
Were taken in by your charm
You assured them
There was no cause for alarm
‘Cause the boy who cried wolf
Was just spinning a yarn
And I slowly bled out at your feet
Everyone thinks …
They think that you’re golden
But I know, and I’ve seen
The flash of your teeth in the dark
