Persephone

Who would've thought I'd be the baby delivered on hell's doorstep
Accompanied by sweet Persephone
The fairytales were sweet when I was just 7 years old
Now it starts to look like it was never even a home

I'll sit down at the chessboard
I'll level my eyes to yours
I'll shakily put my feet down at the base of your throne

Everyone thinks you're such a good guy
Nobody knows what happens at night time
She cursed herself everyday for eating the seeds you laid
Never knowing if we'll see the sun

It's been 20 years and winter's been especially cold this year
Persephone's hanging by a thread
I can see her mind tossing, turning, aching for relief
But I see you're the snare on every narcissi

You've taken the chessboard
You found your strategy
You've made it impossible for her to ever leave

Everyone thinks you're such a good guy
Nobody knows what happens at night time
She cursed herself everyday for eating the seeds you laid
Never knowing if we'll see the sun

I can feel the walls closing around me
Let me breathe, let me breathe
I can feel the sky falling on top of me
Let me breathe, let me breathe

She cursed herself everyday for eating the seeds you laid
Never knowing if we'll see the sun
She cursed herself everyday, but I'm gonna make sure she's okay
Somehow we'll make it to the sun
Somehow we'll make it to the sun
Somehow we'll make it to the sun
