Crystal (Notevember 2021, #1)

Lyrics:

Say what you will, I doubt there’s monsters in these parts
Down here, I’ve found nothing more alive than bits of quartz
That seem to glow

Sure, curiosity has killed many a cat
But it also helps to find what’s fiction, and what’s fact
And I need to know

I feel like my life is gonna change
Discovered something marvelous and strange
On adventures subterranean
I’ll venture into that cave again

What is this thing I’ve found
Could it be my fortune?
Glowing crystals underground
And a haunting distant sound

You folks keep telling me I shouldn’t delve too deep
Spend too much time down there, and something’s bound to creep
Up on me

I feel like my life is gonna change
Discovered something marvelous and strange
On adventures subterranean
I’ll venture into that cave again

There’s a monster lurking here
And while I was working
in the murk, it crept so near
I didn’t even hear it

But maybe it’s not the end
Maybe it wants to be my friend?

One chance, better make it sting
So I can flee my enemy
Pick my pickaxe up, and swing
I got that big pick energy

I’m running for my life, I’m running out of time
I know I’ll never be returning to that mine
With the crystal glow, oh no no no!
And in the panic, I left my pack behind
Far worse is that when I return I know I’ll find you all
Saying “Well, whaddya know”
“We told you so”
