[Verse 1] Daddy wore another face Mama learned the gods don't play Family dinners smell like graves Truth was buried anyway Half of heaven Half below Tell me where I'm meant to go So I painted all the mirrors black Let the nightmares answer back [Pre-Chorus] You call me wicked I call it art Every curse Was somebody's start [Chorus] I'm Melinoë Queen of the sleepless street Laughing while your shadows Dance around your feet If your world's already broken Why pretend it's whole? I'll haunt your perfect little lies Before I haunt your soul [Verse 2] Brother drinks another round Trying hard to drown the sound Every goblet hides a scream Every feast avoids the dream Can't outrun A family tree Growing roots Inside the sea He's chasing dawn I'm chasing night Guess we cope However's right [Bridge] Ghosts don't scare me They know my name Kings made monsters Then passed the blame If fate's a joke I'll tell it louder Smile with ash And graveyard powder [Final Chorus] I'm Melinoë Dancing where the lost souls roam Making every haunted place Feel a little more like home You can fear me You can curse me You can swear that I'm untrue But I learned from all my parents The gods... Will always mess with you.
