The Choices of John Still

Lyrics: Conner Cherland Music: Conner Cherland Oh Come and see the dusty halls Of Mrs. Still, the doctor's wife In the everlasting tapestry A thread removed so he could choose This life With the mixtures he makes his mind Too dark a place to live All alone in his room He paints the walls with what he wants What she'll do for him Don't you question my motives, dear I loved you more than I could stand The pheromones will work again; Bring me one more wolf and lamb I know, ooh, I know For good reason, he'll fight the fates And try to win To be free With the echoes Ringing in his mind Was this meant to be? Oh, to learn what was missed He'll again set the scene: Place the cats with the mice The wolves with the sheep Sharing a single pen He writes it down They make amends— But just wait Don't you question my motives, dear I loved you more than I could stand The pheromones will work again; Bring me one more wolf and lamb I know, ooh, I know And it's different 'cause now he has the time to sit All alone In his office On the oceanside That they once called their home Those toxins they smelled When chemicals rose It infected their brains In ways no one could know His experiments failed In a matter of time I remember the day When she first said goodbye [Brief Instrumental] Don't you question my motives, dear I loved you more than I could stand The pheromones will work again; Bring me one more wolf and lamb I know, ooh, I know Don't you question my motives, dear I loved you more than I could stand The pheromones will work again; Bring me one more wolf and lamb I know
