about

Written and recorded October 23, 2020. Was the Devil the bad guy, or did he just lose that particular fight? History is written by the victor, not necessarily the good guy. And 2020 has shown us that a lot of the people in power are not good people. At the end of the day, Lucy was for freedom.

lyrics

There are halls inside the walls that to stairs that lead to anywhere but here
Inside the wall I try to hide before the Devil catches me inside
Where I belong, or maybe not, I smell the rot
And it scares me back to where I start again. Should I begin to find the end? And again?

I’ll take the railroad back into the shade, before I fade into the walls inside those halls
I make excuses for the deals I’ve made, I’ll never trade a waterfall before I stall

Should I abstain from looking through the little windows along the halls, inside the walls
Where I live and where I run to look for fun in Lucy’s House.
I’m like a mouse, I creep alone. I’m all alone.
And it scares me back to where I fight again against a friend. Not again. Please not again.

I’ll trace my steps before I’m trapped again.
I’ll face the voices and my choices, I’ll scratch and claw before I meet my end.

There is a god, a little god, that hides inside a little child scared at night, it isn’t right
The way the god will use his fears and drink his tears and say that angels are on his side,
I can’t abide the lies he tells to scare the child into doing all the things he feels are right,
An awful sight, little god. You little god.

I’ll take the railroad back into the shade. I will behave.
I’ll make excuses for mistakes I’ve made and maybe trade a waterfall for a barricade.

There is a hole, inside the halls and crumbling walls
A little hole that needs to fill my empty eyes before I cry
Because the Devil inside me has set me free and I belong to anybody that I want
To give my soul to, and I know that maybe snow will save the world.
Or maybe not It’s just a guess. I confess.

Where I live and where I run to look for fun in Lucy’s House.
