Persephone (Intro)

(Spoken)
Yeah let's try it one time

[Sung, Verse]
And even that
And even that is twisted
Look in the mirror like;
How have I ever existed?
Pullin' all the shades down low
Listen to this voice like;
How have I ever been gifted?

Ask where the kindness lies
'Cause I see myself in the kindest eyes
But I keep seeing the devil between my thighs
Wish I could shake that night
And I thought I could cut you out
Look in the mirror like;
How could I ever have let you down?
I waited too long to leave this town
And I think I'm a
A fallen angel now

[Chorus]
Does The Father still hold me?
If the impurity moulded me
And are the heavens unfolding
Am I a sinner?
A modern-day sister of Persephone?
Father, believe my grief
Because the snake didn't ask
He forced his entry between the sheets
Is Mother Mary listening, listening?
I saw the petals around her feet

[Verse]
(Amen, Amen, Amen)
She said a million times
Hold my hands up
But nothing feels right
And I could've reached the sky
If it wasn't for
The snake of the wake; of a distant lake
Thought I could cut you out
Look in the mirror like;
How could I ever have let you down?
I waited too long to leave this town
And I think I'm a
A fallen angel now

And I thought I could run these down
I try again and again
To be free and forgive myself
Try to remember to breathe
That I'm fine and well
Try to remember to speak
But to no avail
You are the one to blame
Your actions were louder than words
And gave you away
And I have so much rage
Just wanna live to see a brighter day

[Pre-Chorus]
Release me
Release me
Release me
Oh, release me!

[Chorus]
Does The Father still hold me?
If the impurity moulded me
And are the heavens unfolding
Am I a sinner?
A modern-day sister of Persephone?
Father, believe my grief
Because the snake didn't ask
He forced his entry between the sheets
Is Mother Mary listening, listening?
I saw the petals around her feet

You see The Father still owes me
Cause insecurity moulded me
And are the heavens unfolding
Am I a sinner?
A modern-day sister of Persephone?
Father, believe my grief
Because the snake didn't ask
He forced his entry between the sheets
Is Mother Mary listening, listening?
I saw the petals around her feet
(Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen)
