Carving Knife

three blind mice, see how they run tirelessly through the garden, surrounded by the envy greens, looking for something to eat
relating through general disdain for the farmer's wife, with her wooden spoons and her carving knife
the stakes were raised high and burning bright, but I have never met a protestant in my life
giving me time to bandage my eyes, grieve my missing tail, and my missing sight
what lessons are learned in unending night for in darkness there is still light
I’ve not seen the sunset but I still believe in tricks up the sleeve, there will be reprieve, but I can’t see the way out

two across the mouth, a goalie to the south blocks the ball with jaw
twice in quick succession, a cheer for his secession
as the prison band plays on
a brawl erupts in the yard
his heart bearing his poverty scars
but listen to him sing
all hail the king

tearing paper, striking matches, fire rolling, ember thatch and thaw
in the dragon's maw
who taught the crow his caw? it must've been my maw
tend the cauldron my companion while I fetch the spices and jar
it isn't so far to the market, mark my words, I'll be back before dark
have I made an error in the recipe?
is that why you cast this sad look at me?
what will become of us?

until the dogs forget your scent you won't know what it meant to be alive in the eyes of our lord, my friend
until the well is all but dry you won't know what it meant to really cry, to truly cry
i understand
