Empires

Maud The Moth

Compositor: Amaya López-Carromero

Your secret domains in me
Are growing bars around the borderline
Yes, my king, I swear
Yes, my king, I shall kneel down

Eyes are drowning, lips are burning
Silence is a cage without bailing out
The grass dries below my feet
The light shines on my hunger for your speech
The garden fell into neglect
In need of answers I will never get

Eyes are drowning, lips are burning
I am conquered land, but never solid ground

There's a stain on the ceiling, above the bed
With one thousand fingers that dip on my chest
There's a shadow exhaled from the corner walls
Where I only see light, which I only trust
Trust, trust, trust

Everyone tells me to let you die
Still I feed you
Secretly, tiny crumbs pushed through the bars
Still I feel you
Around my legs, fingers and mouths
Still I feel you
Around my neck, fingers and hearts
Till one by one fall down defeated
Till one by one cease to fight back

Till one by one fall down defeated
Till one by one by one by one by one
Burn my, burn my inner empires
