There ain't no turning back.
This ain't no long journey home.

A cautionary tale for all who come this way,
A warning writ in water.

This Is Not an Exit

this story
Is overwrought and gory
It's not a fable, it's not an allegory
No cautionary tale, no momento mori
Or a vague "perhaps"

Maybe you've

the legacy they leave behind
A cautionary tale for all humankind
For the world of the narcos it's a cycle of strife
A chilling reminder of the cost of a life

your name in headlines but my dear, you're in headlights
Cautionary tales
Locked in jail
Knowledge is a weapon
Like a mace and flail
Stationary sales

hate you
And the people you never wanted
Those guys will praise you
All commentary failed
Not your hero. More a cautionary tale
This is wanting pride

And the reminder
Hold on to love but don't hold on too tight
Aren't we all just ships passing in the night
A closing chapter. A cautionary tale
An over-reactor
So

Oh, here's a little story from a few years ago
About a man that I met, down by the crossroads
A cautionary tale, some might think
Let me tell you

failed 
The curtain has been unveiled
My life is a cautionary tale
Promise me just one small thing
Everything’ll be ok
Just pray
Fucking tired of my demons

pray you heed this cautionary tale of mine. 

They say she came from the Indies with secrets untold, 
Of the merchant's cabal into which she'd been sold.

But listen closely, there's a message within
Beyond the satire, the laughter and the din

To shine a light

VERSE 04
Now the story is told
cs a cautionary tale,
From the frailty of life, the greed of men

But perhaps there's some educational use for this adventure
A cautionary tale not to be repeated in the future

Ain't it funny how our love played out like a cautionary tale
Floundering fools trying to see behind the veil
But I still can't let go so I hang this

on the thruway
Robbing others blind to have a good time
I can't continue living with these thoughts on my mind
This is a cautionary tale
Do the right thing because

back in time to the winter storm set inside his eyes alive
I'm a cautionary tale without a father 
Sure to fail
But listen
That problem is frail compared

And there ain't no hand to hold

When a prayer is all you have
But that darkness still won't pass

Beware the cautionary tale
Oh if you never try you'll soak

brain
Now it's just rain
Boy I need you with me I'm so lonely and thirsty
This is a cautionary tale
Know when a thing is real
Always be aware
I want back

sprækken i mit vindue

Og når jeg er faldet i søvn
vandrer jeg i en mørk skov
hvor alle mine idoler
går rundt og sukker og synker

A cautionary tale
Hold dig

Who will have us?

Are we facts? 
Figures?
Cautionary tales?
Bid us welcome 
Or farewell

flight attendant
I'm gone
More on the chocolate interior
Drippin faucet, I'm fucking lost in the middle like foster kid
I'm a cautionary tale, tell me

the miles count the usage
Cautionary tale even Jesus had a Judas
Homies weren't then when the judge hit my ruling
You be steading sowing but the reap all but

monumental fail
Is a cautionary tale
Throwing caution to the wind
Getting filthy deep within
I'll earn absolution
Restore my dignity
Let Heaven and Earth bear

in hell
Maybe I just needed my own cautionary tale
Maybe you just had me under your fucking spell

Man I haven't ever felt so low
I walked in, saw you
