Jeff Black - Persephone lyrics

rate me

Persephone

she descends down from the ceiling

with magnolias in her hair

she lights every single candle

in a crystal chandelier

with no more than a whisper

she illuminates the room

and I am bound here by her poison

like a drunk in her saloon

as the apparition

she frightens me to death

as flesh and blood and woman

she takes my every breath

as persephone she's perfect

god have mercy on my soul

I am hollow I am helpless

and I've lost all my control

who am I that the world would miss

hiding in her sweetest kiss

dying in her careless crush

the taste of salt on her summer blush

I can smell vanilla rain

falling soft on her fields again

write my name in waters still

and let me fade away

I can feel her eyes upon me

but there's nothing I can

do I am paralyzed in the silence

of her beautiful remove

and sometimes I get the feeling

when I'm knocking at the door

that with the devil I am dealing

but I keep coming back for more
