Jenny Nicholson - Evermore

Gates are open
We’ve got until July
Pins and tokens
Only things you can buy

Hired out the sculptors for each cobblestone
Set up all the graves and catacombs
Legal letters addressed to the Void

Above the pumpkins and tents
Staring out at office buildings over the fence
And I couldn’t be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this park could be for
Evermore
Same worldwalkers trying all the locked doors
Lost the satyr, haven’t seen him since Lore
I’ve been on the train but all the music’s wrong
Takes me out of time with every song
Wire dragons basking in the sun

Lined up at Barters Post West
Late to see the ceremony, missing my quest
And I couldn’t be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this park could be for
Evermore

Couldn’t cover all the costs
Steampunk robot fell apart
Operating at a loss
But we’re open in the fall again
Just can’t build the things I want
Like the kraken in the pirate caves
All the models at the cons
Or the Jack the Ripper five-part haunt

Woulda had a shipwreck
(Can’t cover all the costs)
That’s phase two
(Stuck the robot in the shop now)
We can get it back
(Operating at a loss)
If we can sue
(We will open in the fall again)
(Couldn’t cover all the costs)
Now we’re laying off
(Just can’t build the things I want)
The cast and crew
(Like the kraken in the pirate caves)
(All the models at the cons)
But I swear
(Or the Jack the Ripper five-part haunt)
We will get there

Waiting in Vander’s Keep hall
Concept art from Blue Sky days are lining the walls
And I couldn’t be sure
I had a feeling so peculiar
That this park could be for
Evermore
Evermore…
