This is the only place that I'll feel safe,
Pace the floors of my beat up faith,
Stoke the fire, stoke the flames,
Remind me of why I feel ashamed,

You warn me that it’s most unwise,
To keep these scales upon my eyes,
Well Hades is calling out to me,
He says: β€œTake my hand Persephone”,

I lived to please, I swam to drown,
And take this all whilst lying down,
But then you cried: β€œGirl, come undone,
You're the earth, the moon, the sand and sun
