Blood and Algae
deify me in pink
like the roses I offered to you
a sacrifice
bring them to the altar
I know you don't believe in marriage
just pray to me
just pray for me
to Dionysus
to Hermaphroditus
burn sage in my name
be a sage of my name
deify me
redefine me
you are god
and I am your reflection
in the Spring of Salmacis
deify me
refine me
not like you did us
the waters are dark now
paper roses will never bloom
again
watch me wither with them
as you look into me
as you look in to me
waters murky
mirrored but wrong
when viewed
through the hue
youve filtered
us through
filter it out
wasn't I good to you
in clarity
when you saw me
when you wanted me
when I made you love me
and you wanted what we had
I did so bad it hurt
I was so bad
so hurt
wounded
infected
polluted
and I can't go back to before that
to the mask I wore when you hurt me the first time
or the second
it doesn't work anymore
you healed the wounds
that held it in place
I can't hide myself from you
you see the real me
perception is reality
through blood and algae
like the roses I offered to you
a sacrifice
bring them to the altar
I know you don't believe in marriage
just pray to me
just pray for me
to Dionysus
to Hermaphroditus
burn sage in my name
be a sage of my name
deify me

you are god
