Like mother, like daughter
The apple fell quite near
While there's truth in the scars
A dire fable is writ in the stars
—
In the shroud of my ecstasy
I saw the vultures circling
"Aren't you lonely?" they whispered,
"You could use the company"
And it all just happened so fast
And I know I wasn't the last
It's a tale as old as time
But couldn't I have been stronger?
—
As the heretic
As the parasite
Strip me down
Down, down, to my sins
Every inch of pain
Is the half of it
Every hope is forged
In the din
Is it cashmere?
Or is it bankrupt?
Fuck
Is it all the same
In the dark?
At the brick house
Tear it all down
Break
Pull the curtains to the side
See the marks
