Suzerain

Lyrics for Suzerain

Spend the rest of your days here, I know it, I know it Find a way to disengage here, I know it, I know it Let the barren tree bring you shade here, I know it, I know it I know that darling dance on the loose Appearance will never seduce Your payment presumptive and servile, I know it, I know it You bow what is mine to the wise fear, I know it, I know it So eat all my food and get gone dear, I'm growin', I'm growin' I grow and the spirit breastbone on me, you'll always be feasting on me She kept a record of everything that happened Exactly as it happened Every interaction captured in exacting fashion Not a diary, was somethin' to be dissembled with dispassion Carefully taken apart in the wire and examine Beg the wrist to write, it looked like a butcher's list A knife folded in the folds of her dress, she's nobody's muse She wears a dead man's shoes and tracks the move Down to the ground glisten, the only sound hound snippin', Suzerain Nothin' can exist without permission in the book where they listed in Charcoal sketched the men, the pen scratched some limbs Pages full of such you won't see again Suzerain She never drew his face, she never wrote the end Just left a blank space, her knee never bent Everything swim in her eyeglass lens Erased the sun, left the world to spin
