Cried Wolf so Many Times (with lyric video)

[thongrider]

I think this was kind of Skiba inspired, so I actually tried to make it less Skiba to not seem like a copycat. The bridge took som work. The second line should probably not be a gerund, but I chose rhyme over grammar! Fuck off!

 

I am awkward and riveting

When things get tough, watch me pivoting

I've conjured up ghosts

Seen disasters in everything 

Howled like a sheep

That just learned how to sing

I sent a letter to the editor

And cried out to a cyberpredator

 

I cried wolf so many times

The same words wrapped in so many lines

And it's too late when they come to eat me

I cried wolf so many times

Saw the warnings but not the signs

 

 

I am a son of the theater

I am iambic pentameter

I'm not delusional

There is someone touching me

I'm not paranoid 

Somebody's watching me

I don't believe a word

I saw the polygraph move long before it occured

 

I cried wolf so many times

The same words wrapped in so many lines

And it's too late when they come to eat me

I cried wolf so many times

Saw the warnings but not the signs

I'm starting to believe my own lies

 

Bridge

 

I stray from the pack

As a lamb or a prodigal son

I'm watching my back

Now it's time I'd run

 

The world is so blurred

I saw the events long before they occured

 

I cried wolf so many times

The same words wrapped in so many lines

It's too late when they already beat me

I cried wolf so many times

Saw the warnings but not

the signs

And I'm starting to believe my own lies

Was this inspired by Shakespeare in some way?

The second verse definitely!

I like it. Good job, thong!

An early unfinished version of the song! I wrote Wolf wrong.
