Persephone

Every night he'd have a new demand He'd tell me fears and he'd tell me plans Whatever he asked me, he knew I'd say yes We didn't choose life but we chose death We sat in the dark and inhaled the white smoke How we smiled as the people spoke Of what they'd do when they saw us undressed They didn't choose life, but we chose death Then I would swallow and the liquid fell Into my insides and it cast its spell We were young and you'd never have guessed That we couldn't choose life but we could choose death Poisoned love and contaminated hands Lift us up and take us down to the Promised Land Days turn to ash but the night is on fire My mind is in the dark but I'm inspired They said, "it's time to go back to where you're from" My love tells me that it won't be long I took everything that I was fed Because I knew that one day I'd be dead Still every night he has a new demand He tells me fears and he tells me plans Whatever he asks me, he knows I'll say yes Everything he does is for the best
