Penelope

Glowing in the dark

Sleeping monster

The sound of your beating heart

The sound of loss

Made a wish on every shooting star

Lit up the incense

Every minute goes off like a spark

Then dies out

You know better the worth of promises made by mortals

You know better time has little mercy on those we love

Fear is a vulture on the loose

A shadow cast

Through stardust

The price of trusting you

Is loving the vulture, too

Locked between the past

And nonexistence

A home that is built to last

A blissful prison

Penelope, I don't know where I start

Or how I finish

Not a thread I weave into the shroud

Comes back out

Ain't it tragic to know we're only living through others

Ain't it tragic how we never get to outsmart our code

Fear is a vulture on the loose

A shadow cast

Through stardust

The price of trusting you

Is loving the vulture, too

I dress your throne in lavender

I cannot wage this war on flesh and bone

On my own

Fear is a vulture on the loose

A shadow cast

Through stardust

The price of trusting you

Is loving the vulture, too
