Rotunda

You lay on top of the bed Fought 'til no fighting was left Midnight, outside there were others like me Waiting for news of their child to be, So long I was meant to be your shining knight But I was frozen like a deer in lights I was meant to be the one who spoke But the swerving car had crushed my throat I was meant to be the stronger one But I was dragged behind the wheels til dawn I was meant to tell them who you were But I fainted with the threat of power You lay on top of the bed They asked should they go ahead Bright lights, loud beeps, clary sage in the air You bit your tongue for something to bare down on I was meant to be your shining knight But I was Frozen like a deer in lights I was meant to be the one who spoke But the swerving car had crushed my throat I was meant to be the stronger one But I was dragged behind the wheels til dawn I was meant to tell them who you were But I fainted with the threat of power Be happy you've a healthy child Did they stitch me up with silver lines Be happy you've a healthy child Don't tell me how to grieve that night Be happy you've a healthy child It won't change how I froze in fright Be happy you've a healthy child I am but I just need some time
