I Know Things Now

Mother said straight ahaid
Not to delay or be mislead
I should have heeded her advice
But he seemed so nice

And he showed me things
Many beautiful things
That I hadn’t thought to explore

They were off my path
So I never had dared
I had been so careful
I never had cared

And he made me feel excited
Well excited and scared

When he said “Come in”
With that sickening grin
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared though I really got scared
Well, excited and scared

And he drew me close
And he swallowed me down
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know

And when everything familiar seems to disappear forever
At the end of the path
Was Granny once again

So we wait in the dark
Until someone sets us free
And we’re brought into the light
And we’re back at the start

And I know things now
Many valuable things
That I hadn’t known before

Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood
They will not protect you the way that they should
And take extra care with strangers
Even flowers have their dangers

And though scary is exciting
Nice is different then good

Now I know don’t be scared
Granny is right, just be prepared
Isn’t it nice to know alot?
And a little bit not
