Candles for the Cailleach-Bheur
Been praying to Brìde lately.
Guess I've just been spending air
Crying for anyone who'll save me...
I put so much armor on
Just gonna sink that much faster,
Bottom of the Acheron,
Immortalized in alabaster.
Fuck this, I tried playing the hero,
Pennate figure, nimbus 'round my skull.
It didn't help me face my fear, though.
Just another sainthood to annul
And now my skin's gone soft like rose gold.
Bend me around your finger so
You can say it's the world that grows cold
When it's you who covered me in snow.
There's too many patriarchs,
And they're not gonna dethrone themselves, so
I know faith's not very Marx...
It might be time to get into spells, though.
I was so strong
But what's a giant when they're on their knees?
It's been so long
Is there even a heart between tits like these?
I feel all wrong
Who could look up to one so far down?
Spent this whole song
In tears with wolf's milk growing on my crown.
