Master, In your palace
With the table to high to reach but it sure does look pretty.
Where’s your Mistress? She’s on her throne,
with her lips too cold to kiss but she sure does look pretty.
Now your answers, they hold no compromise,
So what does it matter,
If to my discretion I hold my tear filled eyes,
On your silver platter,
And while you search for rubies you loose your diamonds,
Well what does it matter if this gem is shattered,
So long as the rich can sleep at: night.
You spend your lazy days in a sunny haze,
You made me a creature of the night,
And now you shine your sunlight on me,
And I wonder dark corridors,
Looking at cobwebs of questions,
that were spun in no response to: me
Give me no illusion, and I’ll play no games
Created confusion, blurs and blinds, no sight remains
Lady lie she lie so low, I could not see were she did go
Lady lies, she lies so well, under her sky, under his spell.
