The Empress

Biting down for the weak and hungry
Oh, bite down the great modest stench of your shame
Consulting my paintings
Misunderstanding their grace
In a flash I'm chained up in your past,
I'm envisioning skeletons, chained up to cave walls
Die singing brave songs
Ends absolute
Sins absolved

Leave the money on the table
Leave me here until I'm stable
I will sleep the darkness back
Stand unfettered as a pillar of light cracks
I'm beholden to empathy I lack
I'm beholden to empathy I lack

Is it raining, I'm sure it must be
Will it ever let up, will my promises keep
Get fed up, get fucked up
All by a fiction
Paint your face a windowsill

And no one knows a thing about you
Tampering and tempering, now
No one's gonna try and stop you
Will too dry and heart a crowd

Fingers tremble, sweating
Groping the dark for a hand
Some parts to be imagined
And the rest just stay on in
It's the
One who never sparks
That never feels the need to leap into the bonfire
On your
Deathbed just stargazing
Back to resting, smoke billowing up from a burning tire
Fiery

There I stand
I boldly dance inside
The confines of my thoughts
I am motionless
I am barren
I'm at most an afterthought

It's a mountain with an illness
Killing time face-down in the snow
Learns to hate the sound of water
Envy its great steady flow

No one knows a thing about me
Shapeshifting and making myself new
No one's caught a glimpse of me
I move too fast for you

For a time I am fine, I am good
I know not what I do, but I feel like a hero
Stay here, dream of staring at you
It feels the way I do when I drift off and lose you in the view

No one seems to even notice
When a raging mob lays down its pitchforks
Join hands right there in the street
Several dozen bags of meat
Several dozen names for me
Several dozen names for me

Star signs
Align
Day breaks
I'm fine
Star signs align
My time is nigh
