Forbidden Places - Meat Puppets

You said I shouldn’t have gone

I don’t know, I went ahead on anyway

Nighttime wore to dawn

I found my free will had gone away from me

Behind the masks that pass for faces

Hours are lost in forbidden places

Nowhere for me to run

Not that I feel like running anywhere anyway

Some things are clear at night

Then become confusing in the light of day

Within the darkness, behind the faces

Pioneers of forbidden places

Something I wouldn’t have thought

Crept up from behind me, now it’s here to stay

Too real, although it’s not

Couldn’t have possibly been avoided anyway

The crazy landscapes behind the faces

Holding back the forbidden places

Abolished music, lost for ages

The living words of forbidden pages

Though dust has gathered on honest feeling

Forbidden truths through twilight stealing

And in the eyes of the listless faces

Glisten hints of forbidden places
