The Chapel (Demo)
[Verse 1]
Where do snails go during the day
They're probably somewhere playing video games
I’m sad they feel the need to go away
Go away
[Verse 2]
Where's the chapel where the mantis pray
The leaves grow green then fall away in
Reddish shades that crumble under
Six long legs
[Chorus]
Leading me along
All the children sing a song
And I'd like to turn around
But I know I'm not that strong
[Verse 3]
I'm missing a house that I've never called home
I'm missing a time that I've never known
I remember a tree had a whole leaf of my own
But now we’re reaching spring
Was it just a dream, I don’t know
[Verse 4]
They warn of snakes in search of prey
The stories scare me so I stay
At the chapel where the mantis pray
And every day
[Chorus]
They lead me along
All the children hum a hymn
And I'd like to run away
But to leave would be a sin
[Verse 5]
I'm missing a house
That I've never called home
I'm missing a time that I've never known
I'm missing a tree had a whole leaf of my own
But now we’re reaching spring was it just a dream, I don’t know
Six legs tippy tappy toes climbing to podium on Sunday
I was a tadpole at the time
So I don’t remember much about what he had to say
Faces beady little eyes larva always cries beetle does the same
Now it remains a dream a distant memory that itches my brain
[Outro]
*Overlapping lines*
I was a bunny at the time
Now it remains a dream a distant memory that itches my brain
