The Lady

(album: Craterellus Tubaeformis - 2023)

Diamonds, pearls and painted veil
Golden teardrops, body pale
Supple wrists, so weighted down
Amethyst and studded crown
Is it fate? She can't let go
Adorned in glory

Oh misery, just set me free
Oh misery, don't follow me
Oh misery, just set me free
Oh misery

She doesn't bear no love, no light
In her mind, no doubt, she's right
Oh misery

Cold and dark, her dreams of late
Fallow graveyard of her hate
Sweaty palms bestow a fear of love, emotion
When it starts or when it ends
She doesn't care, she doesn't bend
It's just a game to play, for her, inside her castle

Oh misery, just set me free
Oh misery, don't follow me
Oh misery, just set me free
Oh misery, don't follow me

She doesn't bear no love, no light
In her mind, no doubt, she's right
Oh misery
Oh misery
