Dark Yarn Spun Lyrics

So I found life where the blood runs Argento red

Following a darkness that Romero spread

Beguiled in the isles by the cover and the poster art

I was hooked it tore my soul apart

Bewitched by the static on the VHS

A place for me to de-stress and be at rest

Once I found that safe space to be scared

I'd escape to that place where the screams blare

A moth to a campfire dark yarn

That we've spun since the genesis of parlance

Wide eyes wired to the small screen

Amused by the scenes others found appalling

The real world worried me to madness

Felt that I could kill monster not a math test

Lesson a message of cautionary tales

Where you're forced to ask questions of yourself

What would I do and how would I survive?

When the dead are always evil and clowns carry knives

A black and white power struggle

Two satisfy this loud befuddle

Preferably in enigmatic story

My demons seem less tangible in allegory

Divide the fear share the lunacy

In the horror of it all found community

A forbidden fruit of qualm gore and nudity

The young being punished for their stark moral truancy

Human beings faced with the never before

Lost in the tension of menacing scores

Red herons are sure to startle a cool

A simple escape into cardinal rules

Promiscuity materialism prejudice

Intoxication victimisation malevolence

Sentenced to death where the slasher stalks

Catharsis in the shoes of that baddies walk

Vicariously die through fright of the victim

Reanimated through a final girls linchpin

Give in to the chase that all of us sweat

Antagonist portrayed personifies death

Or a social commentary on current affairs

Analogies for fears that we frequently under share
