Halcyon Phantasm

from Sweetest Tongue, Sharpest Tooth by Le Bas-fond

lyrics

Unlock the deepest darkest
Secret in my heart
Like the rat
infestation you are

feeling pure and safe and whole
For the first time of my life
And now I’m too bruised
To be someone else’s wife
(to be someone else’s bride)

I never thought I was pretty
Until you lusted after me

Like the rat
infestation you are

I became Eurydice
Because you could not believe
Took one for the team
Became Eurydice

there was no one after you
what about me?

Under my armor plate
Is my beating heart
heart hunted by
A haunted man
Brigadoon birthdays
Two feathers
A hackneyed carousel
And a purple watercolour_stain

I crave a spotless mind
The land of lethe and bees
Where I can erase you

Like the rat
infestation you are

Halcyon phantasm,
Don’t lie to me

Under my armor plate
Is a beating heart

I took one for the team
Became Eurydice
Because you could not
Believe in me

It’s hard to shallow
That the once fertile
is now fallow

Nostalgia is a liar
And so are you

The greatest thing
you’ll never learn
I'm not a possession
or an accessory
and you don't know how
to love unselfishly
