lyrics

Their kingdom was impressive once, I heard him say. We’re lying now 10 feet above their unmarked graves. And I’ve never been so weary of my maidenhood. They’re drumming the serpents to life inside my blood. Whatever you do, don’t hold out for me. I have too many of my mother’s tendencies. Have you ever been so perfectly alive? So certain and so safe, you know that you would survive? One more time: come and die with me. I feel like I’ve given my whole life with this first breath. Hatched from the egg only to fall from the nest. I’ve never been so weary of my heart’s human weight. Let’s go and do something tonight to test our fate. Whatever you do, don’t hold out for me there’s way too much of my father in me.
