Your sanctuary's a pocket goddess
With a liquor disguise
While mines curled up in my bed
I call her my egos demise
 
Yeah I dance with the devil
I could never call it quits
But these days 
To get home I gotta follow my puppies prints. 
 
Always been alone
Hoped I wasn't on my own
Only prayed to myself though
Your names not in my hymns, no. 
Who knew the past would last
Would take this long to go
I'd ask "where's the love at"
But that'd cause a reaction like tear gas
It's mere class
You stay steeped in my tea
No one can guess what I sip,
Is it the he who "raised" me 
Or the she who changed me?
 
Drank it on the daily
And felt like a god
Knee high in her thighs,
Trying to build my queen a Versailles
While she turned a blind eye. 
 
Drank it in the twilight
In a cemetery of fluorescent white
While I danced with three fairies in the red night
We all pretend that we're merry
Suspending our consciences 
With the stars, hailing Mary?
Quite the contrary,
Just numbing our minds
Secretly searching for clarity. 
 
I've felt the ground before
It's got nothing for me
Up here, I feel less empty
Close my eyes so I can't see
And let the rest of my body be its own mystery. 
 
Send a goodnight to the moon
Double cheek it
The second one
For the sun who weeps
When he sleeps
His composure is what he aims to keep
He'll need it so kiss deep.
