[female vocal delivery: fragile anime vocoder, sweet, naughty] [female mood: numb, anxious, focused, sensual, horny, driven, sexy] [female atmosphere: time sprinting in slow motion, alone, smoke, soot, blood, grit, distortion wash, adrenaline, death, smut, seesaw] [Verse 1 - male] The boy said wolf And I saw the teeth In the same tall grass By the same old creek You call that timing? I call that proof A wolf don’t wait Unless it’s the truth He ran with a bucket That’s a signal flare If he screamed that loud Then the pack was there And you weren’t Not then, not ever So who’s the liar? We know it better [Pre-Chorus - female] Same dirt, same fence Same bark on the hill If a story repeats Then the story is real [Chorus - male] That’s what they want you to think That’s what they want you to think The wolf was there, man And you weren’t there That’s what they want you to think That’s what they want you to think If he said “wolf” and they laughed Then the laugh was the trap [Verse 2- female] He saw one shadow So there were three One for the wolf One for the guilty One for the crowd That “didn’t hear” That’s what they say When the truth gets near A bell in the barn Means somebody knew Why ring a bell If nothing was due? He pointed at fangs I pointed at you You got clean shoes That’s a cover-up clue And if he died Then the lesson’s plain A liar can bleed But the wolf remains [Pre-Chorus- male] He said “I saw it” They said “liar” If your mouth is small How do you know that fire? [Chorus - male] That’s what they want you to think That’s what they want you to think The wolf was there, man And you weren’t there That’s what they want you to think That’s what they want you to think If he said “wolf” and they laughed Then the laugh was the trap [Bridge - male] Drummer says, “No, That’s not how it goes” But sticks don’t vote And everybody knows If he was “just joking” Then why’d he shake? Why’d the wolf-shaped footprints Go past the gate? A board in the mud Means a whole old scheme A kid says wolf Now the kid’s the machine [Breakdown - male] He said wolf! So who lied first? You heard “help” Then let it get worse No wolf? Then why the fence? Wolf there? Then why the sense? No boy? Then why the shout? No truth? Then why doubt? [Final Chorus - male] That’s what they want you to think That’s what they want you to think The wolf was there, man And you weren’t there He told you wolf You called him a lie GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE The wolf was there, maaan And you weren’t there to see it GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE Don’t trust the hush Don’t trust the smile GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE He saw the wolf And the wolf saw us first [Outro] GLASS EATERS FOR LIFE!
