about

Chapter 1: our lady of perpetual stagnation
written + produced by Indigo Maya

lyrics

Shut out the moonlight
Halogen glowing on my skin
Midsummer sunrise
Recording drums at 4am

And every day I'm getting older
Still counting down from 33
I never sleep, I'm never sober
Nothing I do is good for me

But it wasn't meant to go like this
I was meant to be an academic
Travel far and distant lands
Now I speak dead languages
To no one else, just in my head

But it wasn't meant to go like this
I was meant to settle down outside the city
By the black volcanic sand
Hung a poster up instead
Stare at the holes in both my hands

Behold the patron saint of chaos
With cables tangled round my feet
Burn dragons' blood on my feast days
Surrender all you love to me

Fear my power, endless rage
In my tower, locked away
I'm dying every day
Black mould in every breath I take

But it wasn't meant to go like this
I was meant to be a writer-poet
Chasing heartbreak in LA
Chasing paper, chasing fame
Bathe my wounds in lemonade

But it wasn't meant to go like this
Everyone I ever met said I'd be famous by 26
But I don't want it
Making an album in my bed

Just like the prophecy foretold
The gods of Eden came calling
They gave me frankincense and gold
And I drink myrrh every morning

And like in fairytales of old
I slayed the dragon in the ocean
Took her stolen relics home
And left the gates of heaven open
