lyrics

My toy kingdom is crumbling.
My castle in the clouds is burning.
My powers have been stripped.
I have been reduced to a golem,
a straw man parlaying with crows
who would sooner pick my stuffing,
as you tell me it will never be the same.
I saw only our shadow life on the cave wall.
You turned me to the opening.
I covered my eyes
not wanting to lose Eurydice to Hadean reality.
You tried to plug my ears with wax.
I stayed lashed to the mast of my fears
only wanting to hear the Sirens of my dreams.
You read our future to me.
I berated you for being a Cassandra.
As the crows pick at me outside of your walled realm,
I think of Antigone's brothers
and pray our problems get a decent burial.
