Pedestal

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis

I wanted to be your Dark Goddess

Squeeze my sin into this red bodice

Hide my flaws behind a gold-beaded mask

But Mardi Gras is no place for romance

I'll keep my promise,

I won't cry or complain

You'll use my body to mop up your pain

Sadistic tendencies live under my skin

Careful with my mouth,

you know where it's been

Please take me down from this pedestal

You've kicked the leg out

and it's tilting to fall

I don't belong on a pedestal

White-knuckled on the edge of losing it all

Please take me down from this pedestal

You've kicked the leg out

and it's tilting to fall

I don't belong on a pedestal

White-knuckled on the edge of losing it all

Losing it all… mm-hmm

Plummeting down

My screams make no sound

Plummeting down

You'll hear me when I hit the,

hit the ground

Why do all good things come to an end

Yet with toxic love, time suspends

I'd like to think I've learned my lesson

Textbooks don't teach me about obsession

Please take me down from this pedestal

You've kicked the leg out

and it's tilting to fall

I don't belong on a pedestal

White-knuckled on the edge of losing it all

Please take me down from this pedestal

You've kicked the leg out and it's tilting to fall

I don't belong on a pedestal

White-knuckled on the edge of losing it all

Losing it all… mm-hmm
