Pedestal

(album: Midnight Society - 2023)

While the corset lies on the bed
And I'm all hung up on a vestige
Like a secret never kept
Say it once say it twice
Say it never again

Won't you come back down from the pedestal
I could drink your wine in the back of my mind
And I know you're never lonely
When your back's to the wall
But the wall's been coming down

Saw the life that could've been
Had it all come back for a second
Like the joker in the deck
Fool me once fool me twice
Fool me never again

Won't you come back down from the pedestal
I can waste my time while you douse your mind
And I know you think you loved me
But you didn't at all
Cause you're already coming down

Funny I believed in a miracle
Now I get the joke it's hysterical
Constellations lining the backs of my eyelids know
The archetype for all the ones
I keep sending home all alone

So can't you come back down from the pedestal
I could waste my days on the side of the stage
Where I'll be wishing that I listened
When they told me to stop
Cause I knew then I know it now
Yeah I knew then I know it now
