The house in the middle

I swayed off the barkwood path
Just following a friend
To see, just see what was on the other side
And what might could have been.
A fearsome beast or evil being
From whence the scene be told
The house The HOUSE, OH BLOODY HOUSE
'TWas far from being gold.

I run away, but sworne to stay
In just what could have been
The house, The HOUSE, OH DREADFUL HOUSE
Is all that would have been.
If what happened here hadn't happened there
Only to sooth the evil,
Maybe this just wouldn't be
death for many people

Though I have my ups and downs
My life will never be
The way that I invisioned it
At the begining.
I try and try to turn around
With struggles in my way.
I realize then and know right now
That I had strayed away.
