The Former by Aaron Malone Lyrics

Watch for the witch;
The wretch cannot overcome her own desire
Deny thyself for a higher cause
The flaws, the greed, and misunderstanding
Vain ear of my dear
Pressed against my door
Scratching and crying to come
Where she isn't welcome anymore

Leave an apple or token
By her side
As she lies in my way
Determined to cross the line
She fights and begs and needs
Something never meant to be
Offer a word of comfort
Or coax or slay away her misery

But don't ever let her in

Don't ever listen
She's confused and diseased
Keep her quarantined least
You become leeched like others after me
Pet her hair, brush your hand along her skin
But don't ever let her in
Don't ever let her in

A trickster, a hacker, a power, an answer
A problem, a thorn, a tormentor, a horror

Don't ever let her in
