lyrics

Should've known
All along
When I saw the warning signs
Accumulating through time
Denoting nothing but dead ends down forked roads

Cover blown
Colors shown
I think that I realized
By the hunger in your eyes
When this little piggy made his way back home

My parents woke up with their arms and legs tied to the bed, I said
Hello
I know

They looked at each other and my father cursed at my mother
He said that she was wrong
They waited too long

Ten years old
I was told
By my mother not to run
When walking got the job done
Double up on your organic vegetables

Never stress
Happiness
Is in taking your time
Meaning her happiness, not mine
Was subject to the time that I had left

Well yes, Son, the plan was to eat you this weekend
A three day, twenty course meal of a lifetime that would outweigh your living to a hundred
I'm sorry you had to find out, especially since we've been working on your recipe for sixteen years
But understand that nothing you do now could hurt more than the pain you've already caused us

Weeks away
From the day
I was sad, shaky and scared
Psychologically prepared
For the sweet sixteen surprise coming my way

Though I knew
What I had to do
I was conflicted as hell
For they'd raised me rather well
And instilled a certain hunger in me too

I know how
They felt now
As I sit alone
With children of my own
