Breadcrumbs
I
It started with a vibe of curiosity
Your intriguing words demanded my heed
Your provocative answers to loaded questions
Stirred within me a peculiar need
II
Avid to follow the path you tread
Distracted by your canny use of words
Cloaking the gravity of what lies ahead
Naively eating words like breadcrumbs
Chorus
Eating the breadcrumbs, you laid so well
Arranged to disguise the story you tell
You can’t see ahead until it’s too late
In over your head will soon be your fate
III
Letting me know only what you want
Each new crumb shed a little more light
Rendering no conclusion, just another query
No plausible events until the next crumb’s in sight
IV
Keenly you lead me in this pattern
Until the picture slowly takes shape
Now the account is fully revealed
I’m in too deep to escape
Chorus
Eating the breadcrumbs, you laid so well
Arranged to disguise the story you tell
You can’t see ahead until it’s too late
In over your head will soon be your fate
