In Your Palace

In your palace
Will you catch the sceptre
On the first bounce?
No one unaffected
The faithless electors
Came unannounced
I’m out
Gonna have to run
Waiting on someone
Waiting on someone
You’ll only flower once
To become
Overwhelmed
Then you’re done
Connections got you covered
Buying back your memories
At any cost
In an IHOP bathroom
Staring at a photo
You thought was lost
Was lost
I’m gonna have to run
Waiting on someone
Waiting on someone
You’ll only flower once
To become
Overwhelmed
Then you’re done
And part of me always knew
That our time
Burned right through
While I was blind
And after all, she said
I’ll impress you
With stripes of green and red
The least I can do
And I will scrapbook thoughts
Save the clippings
As if they mean something
Again
I’m gonna have to run
Waiting on someone
Waiting on someone
You’ll only flower once
To become
Overwhelmed
Then you’re done
And part of me always knew
That our time
Burned right through
While I was blind
