📜 Lyrics

♩ Ha Ha Ha ♩

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

All the arrows that you've stolen
Split in half, now bum and broken
Like your heart that was so eager to be hid

You can't keep them all caged
They will fight and run away
Mother, tell me so I say
(La la la)

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

Forest walls and starry ceilings
Barren curtains that you're weaving
Like the stories that you keep inside your head

She can't keep them all safe
They will die and be afraid
Mother, tell me so I say
(Mother, tell me so I say)

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

♩ Ha Ha Ha ♩

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say!
(Tell me so I say!)

♩ Ha Ha Ha ♩

She can't keep them all caged
They'll be far and fly away
Mother, tell me you will stay
We'll be far and fly away

Harpy Hare

📜 Lyrics

A rake of claws against a mirror
Grazing pelts we all once wore
A kindling of a swordless bloodshed
The creaking of a voiceless door

Where does a mind like yours wonder?
When it’s sung to sleep
Mind the clamours of the restless bidders
Before you choose to weep

And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby

Stuck in the middle of a forest made of
Flesh and bones and they’re all scared of
A lost little boy who has lost his heart
Fear’s not enough, they have to 
Tear him apart

Follow the scent of iron sinking
Deeper into corpses rotting
But they can’t hear you talk, talk, talk
About every little thing
Every little thing
Every

And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby

It clicks and it clatters in corners and borders
And they will never 
Hear me here listen to croons and a calling
I’ll tell them all the 
Story, the sun, and the swallow, her sorrow
Singing me the tale of the Harpy and the Hare

And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie…

♩

And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby

And the Hound
Hums
A lie, a lullaby
And the Hound
Hums
A lie, a lullaby
And the Hound is humming
And the Hound is howling
And the Hound is humming 
You

And the Hound

(A lie, A lullaby)

And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie 
A lullaby…

♩

And The Hound

📜 Lyrics

♩

I can hear the song of the hartebeest
As their hooves drum to a hunger
I can sing a fear or a malady
As I drown deep in the wonder

Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the cats kill one by one

♩

Little rabbit
Little rabbit
Little rabbit

Hazel beneath our claws
While we wait for cerulean to cry
Unsettled ticks run through time
Enough for the hunt to go awry

Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the acres turn green and the cats kill one by one

♩

Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit 
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run

♩

Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run

♩

Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit 
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run
Little rabbit
Run run run run run

You Weren't Meant to See That

Mercy Mercy

I take time kicking it down the line
I don’t know where I’m going where I’m going
I think twice before taking your advice
‘cause I can see your ignorance is showing

you say “real estate is what you need
a little place beside the sea
if you don’t fall in line
then you’re no son of mine”

so I swing my shoulder through the thick of it
and face tomorrow alone
because you own me and I’m sick of it
but you don’t own me no more

where’ve we seen this before?
the age was gilded; cronuts weren’t to blame
your world is purely transactional
why don’t you look around and think 
before you blurt out gems like:

“jewelry is what you want
a sterling piece that you can flaunt
if you don’t fall in line
then you’re no son of mine”

so I swing my shoulder through the thick of it
and face tomorrow alone
because you own me and I’m sick of it
but you don’t own me no more

no more
no more
no more

Alone

Memories and dreams - Sally Face Theme Song

sometimes I fade into the dark
and set my heart wild
unravel in your arms so tired

I try to be there all the time
and pull my own weight
but I don’t know why you stay

through the old maze where we used to wander
there’s a cold weight that never could be conquered
when the starlight was never quite enough for you
had to realign everything I thought I knew

some people wait in silence
until they forget what they want
and some people fight with a resolute heart
for each breath on this earth that they’ve got
I try and find the courage
to carry myself to the start
cuz I wanna be the one you think to call
when you’re lost and your tires are shot
but I’m not
no I’m not

sometimes I fade into the dark
and set my heart wild
but I don’t know why you stay

stay

stay
