about

Probably the simplest track on the album, a simple extended verse over a sample driven beat.

The few people who have heard this song prior to it's public release seem to believe it's romantic in nature, the truth is that the song is written from the perspective of a drug addicts father, it's inspired by a real event but not one I've directly witnessed or been involved. Since writing this, I can also apply these lyrics in reference to peoples assumed meanings based on personal events.

lyrics

I am a simple man
I like bittersweet endings
Left my iris for the wasteland
Where the crows are descending
Noah's titanic sinks in a black abyss
Carve a simple onto Sisyphus
Within her petrified heart
Allow her wings and halo to depart
Leave this virginal whore bearing a crown of thorns
Left for dead with an unmarked grave to mourn
She is Faust, angels (dust) seduced her since genesis
So non-believers shunned the heretic
Wear a brave face for this act of cowardice?
She drowns via villains pipes and I'm standing powerless
Can I separate her from rodents as they burn em
Her guardian fallen angel, blue collar nephalim
My wings are tattered and conservative
Hence phoenix's advocate to burn the bridge
Saving her between puffs of this cigarette
While she licks the blade of societies bayonet
When she finally breaks free from her self imposed betrayal
When forbidden fruit consumption grows stale
There's paradise buried beneath defiance
Where mortal man can slay Goliath
And I know you need the darkness to blend with sirens
But do your eyes shine enough to see the fine prints
This land of false promises where she forsakes her death-wish
An eternal playground full of roses and tattooed X's
