(skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt
Beneath the weight of granite stone and cold tectonic plates won't let these dark flower spread the world is ending far I won't miss your voice from the stars I won't let it take over depression heads different when it comes to love I start end up missing but I won't let depression stop me I wouldn't let it take over won't let it take over I won't let it break me free her emotions head different without the 999 jumping off the exhale I put my pain all in it wishing well I can't breathe jumping off the ant Hill put my pan all in a wishing well still no time but oh well I still try even though emptiness in a ant hill emptiness in a ant hill sometimes I don't know how to feel ring ring going through the depression I use your pain as a memory not a weapon on the other hand it comes to an addiction I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me this is the part where I tell you all my feelings and hide them I don't want you to worry this is the part or I heard on my darkness and hide them I don't want you to worry this is the part my love is different without you the memory of your voice but I swim to the top I'm reaching the light the gods calling me when I swing through the light I raise my hand from above I open the first flower of the dark I won't let depression stop me I never forget my word for the pain in my eyes never shows that I'm wrong depression has different better than drugs or gambling yeah the pool table is up put your
I built a kingdom out of silence and the heavy hand of fate
I watched the world above me bloom in colors I could never hold
Until I saw your face of light amidst the marigolds
I didn't mean to break the earth or steal the breath of spring
But even kings of hollow halls deserve a living thing
So take my hand and walk the path where silver rivers flow
To a throne of obsidian where the hidden jewels glow.
(Duet)
It's a winter in the marrow and a fire in the deep
Between the promise that we made and the secrets that we keep
They call it a cage but we call it a home
Underneath the heavy dirt and the silent catacomb
Let the world above go gray while the seeds begin to sprout
We are the only ones who know what love is all about.
(Female Voice - Persephone)
My mother screams in thunderclaps and wilts the golden grain
She thinks I'm lost in darkness crying out in endless pain
But she never saw the way the shadows danced upon the wall
Or how the King of Terrors caught me when I began to fall
I tasted six red jewels from the heart of the fruit
Now I am tied to the cavern by the spirit and the root
Six months of heavy sunlight then six months of velvet night
I am the Queen of everything that's hidden from the light.
(Group Voices - The Gods)
They whisper in the clouds above with judgment in their eyes
They say the union is a curse and the earth itself will die
Zeus is throwing lightning while Demeter weeps in frost
They count the days of harvest and they calculate the cost
They say a bloom can never thrive within a tomb of lead
That life should never mingle with the spirits of the dead
But they don't see the beauty in the silence of the cave
They only see a victim and a master and a slave.
(Male Voice - Hades)
I'll give you gardens made of gold and paths of polished bone
(Female Voice - Persephone)
And I will bring the ivy leaf to soften up your throne
(Male Voice - Hades)
The gods can keep their fickle sun and all their lofty pride
(Female Voice - Persephone)
As long as I am standing here forever by your side
(Duet)
Let the seasons turn in circles as the mortals pray for rain
We have found a quiet mercy in the middle of the pain.
(Duet)
Roots in the shadow, seeds in the dark
Waiting for the winter for the soul to find its spark
Underneath the mountain where the silent rivers run
We found a deeper magic than the fire of the sun. and then you hear a POW pow pow pow bless them bullets in the wall this won't be my end I won't let the darkness stop me even if I can I'm still in this fight depression hits different I stopped taking drugs when they try to get me I won't let love stop without your voice here it will stop I never knew that my addiction had to stop then everything changed heavy love ye heavy love ye my tears are gone your voice in my head's not done I really miss you without you in my head can life ever change when your voice is gone skirt skirt when your voice is gone skirt skirt got my sword in my hand ready to fight so I won't let our love end skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt skirt I won't let my heart fed I won't give in depression trying to get me but I won't let it in it's okay if it's fake it's okay if it's love it's okay if it's jealousy but I hated all at the same time I hate it but I let the world burn I let the world burn for you hearing you calling out my name hoping this beauty feels my pain let the world burn in flames skirt
