*** ORIGINAL BY @AMANDAMAGELLAN - PLEASE CHECK IT OUT *** https://suno.com/song/6ef38223-e26f-4b26-ae9a-b4ded2d78b52 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shame was stuck in your throat, distorting your words But I heard you humming in other parlors Over noise and the wires, I heard you hum Your voice, a dark honey for everyone (Except for me) I handed you the maps, the faded paper scraps You traced along the scars, said "I know who you are" Said, "I will never leave you", I almost could believe you You studied where it hurts; that's where you built your church (Right there) You say you were abandoned In your sailboat, stranded But you're the one who'd stand Outside and just pretend You, who never knocked! You, who chose to watch! My door was never locked Yes, you left me to rot! Your grand saltwater epic This lighthouse, pretty tragic In the end it's all gone sour You are not a sailor You're just a narrator You're the fog that craves the light it devours You'd burn down the house just to call it damnation You'd go on a fast just to call it starvation You can keep your myth and your storybook I'm keeping the throat that finally spoke the truth You say you were abandoned In your sailboat, stranded But you're the one who'd stand Outside and just pretend You, who never knocked! You, who chose to watch! My door was never locked Yes, you left me to rot! So make your exit, pull the plug, wear black Take away the paintings, stack the digital chairs Your powered-down machine, oh it's a lovely scene This public funeral, so perfect, biblical Such a broken martyr You always were an artist (Of the last word)
