lyrics

Make way for the Empress, she's closing in on me
Nipping at the heels of the war that she secedes
To haunt my favorite restaurants, ruin my favorite songs
Kick her feet up, swearing she belongs
I guess I'll slow my step now, let her take my hand
Show me all the happiness that isn't in the plan
Chat until she's sick of me and carries on her way
Promises that she'll be back one day

Paint every hearbroke fool black with your experience
Cast a shadow across the shadows that I cast
Commiserate with me and plan for something honest
As if the view from heaven will last

Depression is my Empress, I never knew her name
Until she whispered in my ear that everything's the same
Skated by on razor blades, spun a triple sol
Blew a kiss, that's all she'd allow
She manifests herself in everyone I know
Quietly they let me down and I can't let it show
If I force a smile, well, she's right there smiling less
You'll never know me like the Empress

A heartbroke fool black from wrestling the chimneysweep
Who swears it's blocked and the exhaustion can't escape
It helps to know you're out there somewhere doing worse than me
Oh god I hope that that's the case

Make way for the Empress closing in on me
Nipping at the heels of the one that she succeeds
Wish I had a million words to call you what you are
The only friend I've had so far
A spectre that won't leave me, a ghost besets my fun
Never leaves me lonely in the times I come undone
Nothing is more comforting than her plague of embrace
The Empress keeps me in my place

Another heartbroke sweet apologist you've painted
Another ebb is on the way
Another text for help deleted before I sent it
Another wink, another day
