This is why you don't feed the animals
That live inside my head
This is why you don't encourage me
Mingling with the dead

I won't remove guards from my wall
I won't shed my outer shell and expose my heart
I'll die long before you get to me

Dark and dismal was my song
But I will never again sing along
I swear
I've been cowardly for quite some time
Now this melancholy boy is gonna shine
Let's go arrows out
I'm gonna go, let's go arrows out

When it gets dark sometimes my heart
Leads me into the woods
There I drink a sinister mead
That drives away the good

I won't remove guards from my wall
I won't shed my outer shell and expose my heart
I'll die long before you get to me

Dark and dismal was my song
But I will never again sing along
I swear
I've been cowardly for quite some time
Now this melancholy boy is gonna shine
Let's go arrows out
I'm gonna go, let's go arrows out
