The Queen

from Meliorate by Onboard Balloon

/

lyrics

The queen’s the machine’s owner
Shes a loner clean n sober
Leanin over weepin slower
Grieving soldiers even tho
She didn’t know the screams were closure
Deep as oceans sleep it over
It’s the coldest streets to roam in
Feet are swollen needin hope
These people treat her like a ghost
Vocals spoken then they’re stolen
No ones listening to this
it’s nowhere to be found
its in the clouds and then crowd
wont even look up toward the sound
all alone even surrounded
well endowed already doubted
wound and unaccounted for
loud she’s not allowed
to count the money in the pouch
its out and everybody’s proud of it
crowd around and crown it
this is out of towner ballad shit
let the warriors
be rewarded for the morbid
they rode in on the horses
takin courses never taken
and of course we cant afford it
cant afford not runnin toward it
in the orbit that we swarm in
human race is unimportant
in the forest snortin orchids
fuckin stored in a distorted
little corner sippen morgan
singin waitin till the morning time…

The queen’s the machine’s owner
Passionless and damaged
Mad at shit and fuckin glad
Shes half an inch from the casket lift
Traped where the rabbit lives
Avid little masochist
Some baggage in her basket
Actin like it never happened shit
Manage it
And keep the pattern with the lantern lit
There's ashes in the back
Of her head where that bastard lives
That’s why she’s getting blasted
Keep it placid in this plastic land
Bad habits
Imagine where the passages
Could take her if the glasses fit
Just another mask
To peel back when she’s mad again
Revealing the location
Of the patience in the maze is quick
Amazed the fuckin raven
Had a place for her to stay in
On occasion she was playin
With the strangers in the rain
It made her look insane
With the razor blades to blame
In the equation she created
Obligations observations
Occupations operations
There's not a lot to say
Except her days are awful grey…
