Persephone Lyrics

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 you 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
