Hecate's Lipstick

from Chapter IV: On Gilded Wing by Ego

lyrics

Pushed you afire pulled you assunder
and all the things you slew for me
creatures of great centurion wonder
emblazoned battles over sea

and you had blue eyes
and you had blue eyes
and you had blue eyes
your voice poetry, you're words a cypher, your hands a tome
and you had soft kiss barbaric full hips and hecate’s lipstick
she left your country behind your family behind your home

i wrote my life down in a fable
practiced my print morality
and though my lies look sure on paper
destruction's folded in the seams

and you had blue eyes you had blue eyes you had blue eyes
your voice imploring,
your words endurant, trembling tears
and you had red fists
brandished with mischief
hecate’s lipstick
first you love me
then you hate me
and then you don’t care
