Breadcrumbs

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
