The Creatures Were Honest
Verse 1
The wolf never lied when hunger burned,
His yellow eyes declared his need.
He took what fate allowed him to,
No sermons wrapped around his greed.
The oak tree stood through winter's teeth,
A silent monk in robes of bark,
Teaching me that strength is not
The loudest thunder in the dark.
Pre-Chorus
So I gathered scraps of wisdom
From the mountains and the rain,
Yet the deepest scars I carry
Wore a human face and name.
Chorus
The creatures were honest,
The rivers were true,
The stones never promised
What they couldn't do.
But among the crowds of smiling masks
And kingdoms built on gain,
I earned my finest diploma there:
Master of Betrayal and Pain.
Verse 2
I learned from flowers how to bloom
Without demanding to be seen,
And from the stars that disappear
That beauty owes no crown nor king.
Yet marketplaces filled with souls
Were trading dreams by weight and size,
Selling pieces of their hearts
For coins that glittered in their eyes.
Pre-Chorus
Every bargain bought another chain,
Every chain became a throne,
Till people owned a thousand things
And could not bear being alone.
Chorus
The creatures were honest,
The rivers were true,
The stones never promised
What they couldn't do.
But among the crowds of smiling masks
And kingdoms built on gain,
I earned my finest diploma there:
Master of Betrayal and Pain.
Bridge
Now contentment flickers like a candle
Fighting winds it cannot see,
While golden idols fill the temples
Where the human heart should be.
Still a few souls walk among us,
Like hidden wells beneath the sand,
Proof that heaven left reminders
Scattered gently through the land.
Final Chorus
The creatures were honest,
The rivers were true,
The moon kept every promise
It whispered into blue.
And though I've walked through halls of mirrors,
Through deserts cold with greed,
A handful of kind and faithful hearts
Were all the wealth I'd ever need.
Outro
The wolf taught hunger.
The tree taught peace.
The stars taught wonder.
The wounds taught me.
And if you ask what life has given
After all I've stumbled through,
The wild taught me how to live...
And people taught me how to choose.
