The Curious What is that,
Who is this,
These questions give us bliss.
Not knowing can make us furious,
Because we are the curious.
Our nature is to search,
Wether we get it or not,
Inquiries fill us with
wondrous thought,
Try pondering it’s fun to do,
Will you join us too?

People who think,

Those who wonder,
Are the ones who feel our blunder,
To him, the one who told a lie,
Truth is something you can deny.
Welcome to Hollow Edge,
We have loads of scary stuff, Hollow Edge
Want to jump off Eerie Ledge?
If not you’ve probably had enough.

Please don’t flee,

So come on in!
I promise we won’t bite,
We’re a lot of fun to have around.
But if you mess with me,
We can definitely make you grin,
You’ll get into a fight.
As long as you don’t mind the
occasional howling sound.

We’re nothing to fear,

We only want to be your friend.
We disapprove of your leer.
Do it again and it’ll be your end.
 My hope for this world is a faint
song The air is filled with gas and spore
I shouldn’t have believed for this I just can’t carry on anymore
long
No hope for this
People and animals lay, beat
Only few survivors on the worlds
tips There’s ash on the ground beneath
my feet
world We can’t go on in the apocalypse

I guess this is the end for me

I lack the confidence needed to try
No one can be trusted, they all lie Death doesn’t wait for anyone I see
Fake friends and traitors I lay under the resting tree to sigh
Come at me fast as lasers As I say my final word goodbye
I love you
I hate you
Don’t worry it’s just the flu

I’m happy
I’m smiling
Please help me I’m fading
Don’t cry you’ll make me gloomy I won’t be forgetting

I’m laughing Excitement makes me shout

I’m dying Please let me out
Haha I’m just joking Never had a single doubt

I’ll be fine So much knowledge still to gain

I am in so much pain
That’s a bad sign
Perfectly fine, not insane
I will rise and shine

I’m just a normal guy

It’s all a lie
Sigh

One way or another,
The truth is revealed,
Either to your dad or your mother.
It is never forever sealed.

Don’t be a pity filthy liar,

It never ends well.
Eventually the stakes will be dire,
And with the gnomes and trolls you will dwell.
One way or another
A liar’s heart will be,
Dark as a night without a moon or a star.
From this person you should flee,
Run away and only stop when you are far.

Be careful with whom controls your trust.

This world is full of schemers,
Who do whatever is unjust.
Worry and watch out for the deceivers.
