Celeste
You are
burrowing down in me
They believe
in caricatures of demons in my head
(oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
You are
this deadly insanity
But I concede
the dark that was in my veins before they bled
(before you made it bleed)
And you are, you are, you are, you are my secret
You are the sins in me I can’t confess
Only your enemies call know your true name dear
You are my only enemy, Celeste.
Ghost scars
the rest of the dream is dead
No sleep
the wicked inherit everything that’s left
(don’t cry, won’t cry for me)
Hollow stars
are laughing at me, misled
Eyes sweet
and much as your heart, bereft of care for me
(A harlot always thee.)
And you are, you are, you are, you are my demon
Kindly consider this a last request
Savor the hate and desperation left here
You are my only enemy, Celeste.
