[Verse 1]
Pastel sky turns bruised and gray
Plastic grass so still
Candy baskets on the table
Every clock runs chill
Daddy says
"He's hopping soon"
Mama forces smiles
But every shadow on the wall
Has claws a hundred miles
[Chorus]
Maw of the Easter Hare
Teeth like broken prayer
He is coming up the stair
He is coming for the children
Maw of the Easter Hare
Chewing through the air
Every sugar-coated prayer
Is a hunger for the children
[Verse 2]
Little ears by the window glass
Hear the scraping stone
Not a jingle
Not a laugh
Just a grinding bone
Footsteps wet across the lawn
Darkness wearing fur
Whiskers drip a crimson thread
As the doorknobs stir
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
He crawls from the garden soil
Wreath of thorns and hair
Carried on a thousand songs
Taught to never scare
Tiny shoes lined by the bed
He can smell their sleep
Tiny hands that fold in faith
Are the ones he keeps
[Chorus]
