lyrics

Crystals & Chalices

Whispers, like butterfly wings
Pulsating gracefully
In a vain attempt to rise above it all
Spoken so softly—barely audible
About your new gods

Betrayed

Guilty of sin, and there’s no regret
Crystals and chalices tore your soul apart
The day that you left, and gave up on us
Destroyed every part of me
Crystals and chalices ripped my soul apart

Did you hear me cry out?
“Mother, please don’t leave”
You walked away

And through alchemical lines
Drawn on a mirror
Reflecting on those you left behind
Staring into gorgon like eyes
Never to realize
How much we were traumatized.
You were our guide, and now we are lost.
