Vilify 03:43
lyrics

Dainty girl red hooded No tree, always red wooded She had been taken under wing But they let go of the kite on a string She grew up and they left her to be alone Anytime her teeth showed, her cover was blown They said there are knives you have known She said no those are knives you have thrown The first shot was undone Never felt the warmth of a gun Der Wolf made her how she was spun Knives in the eyes but eyes for no one What the fuck are you looking at I’m hooded black I took it back No looking back No wooded path She stood back No wolf pack Wool black Knives I brought knives It took so many lives To know what drives Me to rise With teeth and big eyes Something in me dies That’s what they said and cut ties That’s what they said; they were lies Now wool is my disguise A fearmonger vilifies I am just a kite that flies Off into uncharted skies I just have the highest highs I never hurt, they just capsize I am different, they see butterflies No butterfly behind my back, humanize Just one in my back you localize No I will not normalize or apologize For what you characterize

Don’t do drugs kids they’re for me Happy endings don’t come free Life is fucked up see Who will the villain be We can’t foresee We will disagree Let me tell you a fairytale About every nail In my coffin that will fail Yeah the evil was on sale Priceless to watch the children wail The future is female If they quit working retail Escape the tower and bail Quit reading their email Yearning for an adult male Let down their hair from jail Or jump right off the rail The story doesn’t need detail Some sleepy bitch will prevail But this ain’t for kids God forbid Three pigs eaten like ribs In their shitty cribs Wolf have dibs They have chins The Wolf grins This is Grimm’s Child they’re friends Who’ll make amends Life begins With the ends Hide your kids Kill you wives Fly your pigs These are Grimm times

Little girls little girls Have big smiles and curls They don’t play metal Like a flower petal They settle Don’t meddle Radio says no no You’re not on our show Fairy tale never said so Though why not go And find a nice slow Song you know It’s what you owe Sunshine rainbow They use that as ammo Banjo Outta tune Sing like a loon Gonna be Gaga soon No the new Manson you buffoon Behind me trails my lead balloon They said inopportune I just assume I’m abloom I’m making room Here comes the boom You can’t guess my name I am not the same I am an open flame You try to beat tame Oh a girl that sings good Oh I misunderstood No no back to the wood She took off her hood A girl that raps With metal scraps No one claps No toe taps A girl with words like knives They fear for their lives Hide your kids kill your wives The drunkest one drives Breaks into hives No I’m not cute I’m not a hoot A cowgirl boot In a sailor suit Who’ll undershoot I’m forbidden fruit Hands up but I’ll still shoot I don’t play the god damn flute I play guitar like the world was mute I am a nuke Hellcat grand duke I spook You can’t rebuke I’m here by a fluke I throw for a loop You opened up the scoop Stoop I swoop You droop You need to recoup Regroup A girl does better A real upsetter Close your ears for the newsletter I’m gonna be the new trend-setter

They sent me away Doesn’t everyone like a stray Oh the wood in broad day Bye bye they say Just don’t come back okay Bread crumb thoughts Daisy love me nots A problem they ain’t got No no I forgot The way home Stray stone Stay bone Pay phone Rings Day schon Sings Fucker A word stings Hello who pulls my strings Who pilfers my things We forgot The story is not Just you it’s Who you knew Would be there too But clearly they’re not No they never forgot They said I need more of me Let her free Let her go be In the wood Misunderstood We do not have time for no good I found a house off the beaten track Chimney blew like a smokestack Is a house a home an amnesiac I douse alone an insomniac Let out every stone in my pack Here was no going back Yes trust again for what I lack Which is my heart of the attack Not the wisest one of the stack Of all queens a Jack I trail all of my slack Swan painted black I know black magic voodou But she knew Worse too House of caged I am who You are no Wolf you are stew Ha ha ha I got you The witch wrist whisked a switch Flick my nose I twitch I said I am the Wolf you bitch No you’re dead in a ditch I’ll eat you like the rich My heart is black as pitch And I’m bitter as it gets I’m the storm that hits Oh no you’ll taste just fine No you’re fat enough you’re mine Rattled my cage Met with rage Set the stage The flitting ashes swarm Child is the oven quite warm I said what like a summer storm Fucking cunt She stood in front She bore the brunt No more witch hunt Decided to punt That stunt I came to like a shunt Yes this house is mine It will do just fine I killed my jailer in time Breadcrumbs walk the line And confine I don’t define Nein I shine I drive The Wolf knows how to survive Fear me I thrive This house ain’t my home I roam Through the wood I roam alone

Shatter 04:06

You’re what I didn’t want but needed I lost a thought that was deeply seeded Sprinting barefoot, unheeded The dream shattered and I conceded I don’t need midnight To lose it all by daylight Walk a mile in my shoes I invite Your poison is too much spotlight I broom sweep, you spite I am the fairest like Snow White I don’t care for a lover anymore The silence trembles in me to the core I am a Wolf that hid behind the door I broke the slipper and slid to the floor

Cunning, master of a hundred tricks Which parts of me must you fix Waterlogged box of matchsticks You left me like a cat in a tree You do this to yourself you know Is it my fault we have nothing to show? You laughed at me at hello I climbed the tree to be free from harm You just charm You never learned how to disarm

Mirror, Mirror 02:45

Mirror Mirror lie Run mustn’t I Goodbye The fairest Wehr ich Der lischt Wehr ist nicht Bare fist Embarrassed Not cherished No merits Broke the mirror that’s scares us Dares us Of awareness Der fehr ist I’m not special calm down But beauy is a tree and I never got down Redwoods I see we’re all chopped down You look at me from the top down You must drop down I never got down Was never shot down For years not found Wandering the wood dreamless They hate my seemless genius My long shot extremis My brain a drug intravenous The tree greenness That was seedless I am needless, heedless Leave them speechless Sleepless Their own weakness Is asking who’s prestigious With uniqueness I am the keenest A wolf egregious They say beneath us Broke the mirror for my freeness Ran to the wood where they declared war I was never cared for I was contagious, airborne Summer storm I stumbled upon their door Ich ist Mehr mur (mehr more) What was I there for Years I hid my rare form We were unprepared for Apple, Apple never take What you didn’t have to work to make Poison like a grassy snake Fool, mirror, fool to break Break my glass house, one mistake No one came to shake Me out of this shape Eyelids opened with tape Their mouths agape I cannot escape I am not fair; I ache For my own sake I’m waiting for the retake The remake My mirror was always opaque They hated that I wasn’t fake Remember what’s at stake Before you make the earth quake And the movers shake I never did wake Mirror mirror on the fall All hail the day you fall

Cards house of cards Send the guards, the guards Glass house of shards Scrap of the scrapyards My house is not my home House of sticks for a bone Broken by a house of stone Straw woman lives alone Not by the hair, the hair Blow down what’s not there I’ll let you in see You and I are are meant to be Chinny chin chin Grinny grin grin Chimney chim chim In he, in he, is in Grimmy grim grim Sinny sin sin Der wolf came again Where have you been No need to break-in This is no place to live I pick at a shiv I know to forgive Just when I wear sheep skin Pink as eosin Picked like a bobby pin You are no jailer, a stand-in How you spin The revolver to win Too easy to get in Here All clear No fear So dear Those near Don’t go here Burn my house Don’t let me douse Rule of three doubts It’s just me with no outs No snouts You know my whereabouts The wooded routes You’re always along Where you belong My brick house stood strong I let you in and it wasn’t wrong

Neu Wolf 01:48
lyrics

I waited to be found For the jaws of the hound For the sound I sat on the ground Bound By trees that shouldn’t surround Little redwood renowned Yes I met the Wolf circling round He ate me up without fail I learned to swim in a whale To see red in Braille Though unmanned my ship did sail I fought him tooth and nail Oh but grandmother meet the pain scale Fucker I tell my fucking own tale Now I fill you with stones and prevail There are wolves everywhere I used to wear fur but I grew a tail Black wool veil I used to be lost but what does that entail There was a sign on a nail Please come back to your fairy tale You went off the rail No I became the villain they wanted full scale I am the neu Untreu MENSCHENSCHEU I lost my joy When they left me lost as if to deploy They wanted a golden boy I am like Helen of Troy Ahoy Now it’s the wood I will destroy This is the part that I enjoy They had vilified me into a decoy

about

This is a continuation of "A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing." Little Red is vilified because she is different. She becomes the Wolf in order to protect herself. She essentially let's the wolf at her door come in, but she defeats him to become the "New Wolf." The songs are all references to Grimm's fairy tales. The title is in German for this reason.
