Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walked out of the smoke
Ash on your cuffs
Laurel leaves burning
Like you’d had enough
You said my name once
Everything shook
World split open
With a single look
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the stories
I’ve heard the prayers
They paint you in iron
But I see you there
Hands that hold shadows
Soft at the seams
You asked me a question
I answered in dreams
[Chorus]
I’m not Persephone
But you look at me
Like winter might break for a moment
Like you could repaint the sky
You’re the lord of the dead
But I’m the one losing my breath
This forbidden thing that we’ve stolen
Lives in every hush
Every sigh
I’m not Persephone
But you still say my name like a vow you can’t say out loud
[Verse 2]
We walk by the river
Coins on their tongues
You say it’s just duty
That keeps you among
All of these ghosts
Filing past your throne
But you’re just a man
Who hates sleeping alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Your crown on the table
Your guard at the door
You talk about her
Like a half-faded war
“Spring is her kingdom
I’m kingdomless then”
You laugh
But your fingers
Reach for mine again (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m not Persephone
But you look at me
Like winter might break for a moment
Like you could repaint the sky
You’re the lord of the dead
But I’m the one losing my breath
This forbidden thing that we’ve stolen
Lives in every hush
Every sigh
I’m not Persephone
But you still say my name like a vow you can’t say out loud
[Bridge]
What do we call it
A curse or a choice?
This crack in the marble
This tremor in your voice
If she knew your shadows
Curl around my feet
Would she burn the orchards
Just to watch us bleed?
You say
“I can’t love you
I’ve given my word”
But every time you leave me
The ground splits
It hurts
You’re promised to daylight
I bloom in the dark
Our names written quietly
On the same black heart (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m not Persephone
But you look at me
Like winter might break for a moment
Like you could repaint the sky
You’re the lord of the dead
But I’m the one losing my breath
This forbidden thing that we’ve stolen
Lives in every hush
Every sigh
I’m not Persephone
So I’ll hold this fire at the edge of your world
Bride of the underworld
Only in your mind
