The Palace

Wandering the streets, headed to the temple
Tryna find love, even a breathful
Summer days mark my path
When it's over, what'll I do with that?

Found you in the countryside
Gave it ten weeks, it all went by
I'll find a man, become a wife
Leave this place to the dogs and mice

But if I want to go, you'd say no
Leave it to another day, let's just roam
Another place, we'll call our home
Another land, one I don't own

I'm here, on my own volition
I swear to God, know that it's conditioned
The way I can't say no
No I can't say no, no I can't say no
No, no, no

I'm bound to end up just like you
That's what you told me, with those Tuesday blues
They won't go away till they smother you
You'll be left rotten, oh through and through

Marked with ash, I'll step on back
Forgiveness, what do I do with that
Loved you once, I'll do it again
If you need me, I'm at the temple, man

I'm in the palace, in the maze
Beyond the film, see my face
Know it's gone when I fade away
A grave will be my saving grace

But if I want to go, you'd say no
Leave it to another day, let's just roam
Another place, we'll call our home
Another land, one I don't own

I'm here, on my own volition
I swear to God, know that it's a condition
The way I can't, say no
No I can't say no, no I can't say no
Oh, oh, no, no
