lyrics

Persephone

I had so much potential when I was up there in the sun.
Protected in my youth, for my beauty. Oh, but that was then.
No man or woman is gonna come for me.
Not when they find out where I am.
You said, you'd make me your queen.

My mother, she is gonna search for me,
She will scour the earth.
And put the green to sleep.
Cover her garden in white.
But I swear, I cannot be made to love you.
Yes I swear, I cannot be made to love you.

Some people are gonna say I was asking for it.
Picking that little blue flower, so pretty.
How was I to know that you were trapping me?
Sheltered as I was in my naivety?
Fuck you! I don't need your sympathy.
You said you'd make me your queen.

I heard they've been making deals on my behalf
and you've been talking promises you've got no intention to keep.
Well, don't worry baby. I will eat the pomegranate.
To give the summer sun reprieve.

But I swear, I cannot be made to love you.
Yes I swear, I cannot be made to love you.
I swear I cannot be made to love you.
But I can choose to.
