about

Beware the Outstretched Hand is an acoustic song. Definitely the darkest song on the album, to me. It is very personal. It is about betrayal. About showing someone the beast that the lives within, that we all keep caged up, that animal part of us that is in fact who we really are but can’t show, and it’s about being betrayed by that person. The wound can be heard in this song.

lyrics

Beware the Outstretched Hand

There’s a place that I go
A place that nobody knows
Hidden away, deep inside
In this darkness I hide

Follow me down, you’ll find a beast in a cage
Wild eyes, it hasn’t eaten in days
I don't know what to do...
But it likes you

Hello there, my good friend,
It’s good to see you again
Hello there, my trusted friend,
Can you lend me a hand?

There’s a place that I go
A place that nobody knows
Hidden away, deep inside
In this darkness I hide

Follow me down you’ll find a beast in a cage
Wild eyes, it hasn’t eaten in days
I don't know what to do...
But it likes you

Hello there, my only friend
It’s good to see you again
Hello there, my trusted friend,
Can you lend me a hand?

Be careful who you trust...even a friend can betray you

Beware the outstretched hand, with sorrow-filled eyes
The snake does not announce itself, but lives in disguise
One starving does not often test the food given
And some things in life are beyond forgiving

Hello there, who was my friend
I see you're back again
Hello there, my trusted friend
I see you’re back again
Hello there, my only friend
I'll never trust you again
