Way down

I've been way down

Underneath this skin

Waiting to hear my name again

I'm sorry

Nothing can hold me

I adore you still

If I hear them calling

And nothing can hold me

Way down

All the way down

I will hear your voice

But I'll no longer understand

I'm sorry

Nothing can hold me

I adore you still

But I hear them calling

I was looking to the sky

When I knew I'd be swimming home

And I could not betray my kind

They are here, it's my time

I'm sorry

Nothing can hold me

I adore you still

But I hear them calling

Calling

And nothing can hold me

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming, swimming

What do we do?

We swim

Swim

We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children

And about the world ending, and the scale of my ambition

And how much is art really worth

The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most

But you need your rotten heart

Your dazzling pain like diamond rings

You need to go to war to find material to sing

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I need my golden crown of sorrow

My bloody sword to swing

My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape

Just when you think you have it figured out

Something new begins to take

What strange claws are these scratching at my skin?

I never knew my killer would be coming from within

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I need my golden crown of sorrow

My bloody sword to swing

I need my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

'Cause I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king

I was never as good as I always thought I was

But I knew how to dress it up

I was never satisfied, it never let me go

Just dragged me by my hair and back on with the show

When the night comes

I'll be the one with torches

I'm shining on

And when your head hit the bed

that I'm lying on,

I'll be your watcher through the night

Because I'm, I'm better than this

And you all, you couldn't resist

And that's ok because I love you all

I love you all, I love you the most

And when I shut my eyes

the facets of color in my lids align

and your soft, fair voice it shouted in my mind

It shouted in my mind, you shouted in my mind

Because I'm, I'm better than this

And you all, you couldn't resist

And that's OK because I love you all

I love you all, I love you the most

Because I'm, I'm better than this

And you all, you couldn't resist

And that's OK because I love you all

I love you all, I love you the most

I love you all, I love you the most

I'm a brat and will never apologize for it 🤷‍♀️

Make you vile,

And make you a spectacle "

Kintsugi

Jigsaw pieces

Fill in the scars

Molten veins

Smoldering touch

Glistening edges

Malleable to some

Emboldened against all

[fireflyrider]

Sometimes, I can hear them both

Calling out to me

[fireflyrider]

I'll never be like the biblical Eve

I will never bow to a man

I will never slide underneath him, like a bitch to be taken

I'm a daughter of Lilith, and proud.

Hey, look up!

You don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living

You are flesh and blood

And you deserve to be loved, and you deserve what you are given

And oh, how much?

'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies

And I can see it with my third eye

And though my touch, it magnifies

You pull away, you don't know why

That original lifeline

Original lifeline

That original lifeline

That original lifeline

'Cause your pain is a tribute

The only thing you let hold you

Wear it now like a mantle

Always there to remind you

But your pain is a tribute

The only thing you let hold you

Wear it now like a mantle

Always there to remind you

I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change

I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change

I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change

I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
