Ophelia (EP)

Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled They say they’re saving me? But faith is what broke me But the waiting is what woke me up From what forced me closed Made me lonely as it stood me up A stranger so estranged to features in the same place Fuck the tropes, the hero of the story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall They said the floors are hard on the knees I held my breath until I was too blue in the head Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you From the green veins, I belong to the dirt You are at page one of my story Rolling me in my grave Skull caved, the sockets ruined, by the stoning My teeth all missing from my mouth Before you know what I’m about Before you see me Talked down with shovels and told me I’m troubled They say they’re saving me? The waiting is what woke me up From what forced me closed Made me lonely as it stood me up The kiss if of true love, taste of freedom A stranger so estranged to features in the same place Fuck the tropes, the hero of story, the underdog’s glory, a glow up And the applause because in my dreams I’ve seen and felt the balloons fall They said the floors are hard on the knees I held my breath until I was too blue in the head Red in the face and eyes is what all the crying will do Sticks and stones, but my brain’s beaten black and blue I held my breath until I bled myself of you, bled myself of you From the green veins, I belong to the dirt You are at page one of my story Rolling me in my grave

For the sake of expression There is no perfection I collapse in Don’t save me For the sake of expression There is no perfection I collapse in ideals To curse or enchant The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground A part of death lives in you Day by day it grows Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds Nourishment lies in your ruin Learning as the first of the flowers bloom The universe expanded another sun and moon Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom I can’t and I won’t be saved That’s what’s best for me To live out my sorrow on borrowed time Dancing and crying until I die There’s no changing my mind A masochist I break myself down The sadist like you taught me how to frown To bow so low my face touched the grown Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable Now I’m not one for compromising Deconstructing me For the sake of expression There is no perfection I collapse in Don’t save me For the sake of expression There is no perfection I collapse in ideals I forgot the grain of salt Tell me how feel Tell me what’s real Living to the fullest you know how Show me like you know how, you know how I forgot I grain of salt To curse or enchant The haunted and the blessed walk the same ground A part of death lives in you Day by day it grows Sprouting mushrooms in your wounds Nourishment lies in your ruin As the first of the flowers bloom The universe expanded another sun and moon Open eyes adjust to the reality, no gloom The beauty of the truth I can’t and I won’t be saved That’s what’s best for me To live out my sorrow on borrowed time Dancing and crying until I die There’s no changing my mind A masochist I break myself down The sadist like you taught me how to frown To bow so low my face touched the grown Breaking my spirit to make you comfortable Now I’m not one for compromising

I come to claim my body Recovered as Ophelia Discovered the unknown woman of seine Mysterious Mona Lisa smile All the promise has left my body Underneath my death mask On a dark tour, a walking corpse Living dead girl Doll parts no longer yours Only flowers clothe me I did it foolishly for the dopamine The orgasm left with my last breathe And I’m creaking with emptiness The thoughts of peace In the roar of the falls Where I lay ripples tranquility I come to reclaim my body From what death couldn’t expunge The burdens of life This river wouldn’t let me run Like rocks tied to my feet Down but not sunk in the middle place From what death couldn’t expunge Filling the blanks of my eyes Still after the surprise Clogging up my heart Filling my ears Water Lily’s jade my mouth As the creature Oh, dearly beloved A lotus in the mud I vow to nature’s isles All the promise has left my body Underneath my death mask On a dark tour, a walking corpse Living dead girl
