Up on a pedestal

[PEDESTAL — FINAL STRUCTURE (Metal, stage-ready)]

(Verse 1 — ultra-tight / scream-ready)
Tired —
I rest my head
against your lap,
tilt my ear
to hear you feed my ego
from a different angle
You reach out but we let go
When there’s no room for me
Up on your pedestal.

You can't mend
What's been bent to fit
You can’t fix
what’s already been broken.


[Verse 2 — (tightened / rhythm-ready)]
No room.
No place.
No air to breathe
in your altered space.
No love.
No light.
Just your shading
My light

You don’t love me —
you love the power,
you love the silence,
you love when I am small
and you are tall.

Will you be ready 
When your kingdom falls 
You'll look me in the face
As it all begins to fall into place
Will you be ready 
When your kingdom falls


[Breakdown —( scream / chant potential)]
NO ROOM
NO PLACE
NO AIR

YOUR SHADOW
MY FACE

NOT SMALL
NOT YOURS

YOUR. KINGDOM.
FALLS.

No room.
No air.
No space to breathe up there.
No room.
No light.

[Pre-Chorus 2 —(scream-ready)]
You said I was worthy
while you looked down on me.
If this is heaven
I don't want the keys 

Dream punk
black gaze
 slush metal
Screamo emo
