Dont look back, theyre right behind you Sent to find you, bring you home But words are hooks in hearts and minds So you cant close your eyes and hide And just hope theyll go away Careful that the words dont choose you Tell your tongue to step where you do Cause when the wolves doubt come growling And confusion sets your mind to howling Your mouth just runs away Dont you cry youre only human All consumed and all too proud But nows the time while wounds are open To go and mend the bones youve broken And the messes that youve made Letters have a way of spilling Ink stains from a cloud of feelings Kneel before the fount of reason Say a prayer for one clear season While the goddess screams amen Every steps as light as feathers Every crumbs a clue And every word might last forever Best they all be true Dont despair, theyre there to guide you Fireflies that dare to light you Words are hooks in hearts and minds Theyre the hoof prints through the sands of time As they lead you by the ears
